Artist Statement
Inspiration emerges from my inability to distinguish between the truth of my family's heritage and the tendency to idealize history. My work goes beyond the questions of what is true or not true and reframes reality based on existing evidence, such as photographs, newspaper clippings, and storytelling, while juxtaposing inconsistencies within my compositions. These documents are employed as translations of evidentiary language to access my consciousness and awareness of my role as a woman navigating a complex and confusing family system. In response to this evidence, or lack thereof, I am creating a collection of visual images that present stories and perspectives of my heritage, emphasizing the role of the feminine navigating real and imagined space. I explore the significance of origin, its intersection with standards of the traditional roles of women, and how perceptions and expectations are disseminated within families through narrative, identity, and the practice of religion.
