Bio

I am an international exploring the sentiments of belonging, loss, and ultimately acceptance of the liminal space as home.

Working in an interdisciplinary art practice- I employ media of paint, ceramic and laser cutting to balance my love for tactile hand-built objects, mindless repetition and the precision of machines. Multi-lingual text, vivid bold palettes, and dense texture often find their voice within my work.

As we face a future that is rapidly losing its value system of inclusivity and its appreciation for diversity, my work takes on a political context. As a first-generation migrant, having spent a decade away from my homeland- my paintings take on a storytelling narrative of the life of a migrant. I explore my immigration history as an abstract space in which territory becomes an in-between and where I find myself as an outsider in both cultures. I reflect on themes of identity, migration and acceptance as a catalyst for dialogue and creating cross-cultural understanding. I aim to connect multiple generations of women through object-making as I direct the construction of certain sculptures by inviting my mother, my deceased grandmother, and daughter to participate with their labor and build a thread of family history as legacy. My work is both intimate and voyeuristic- using impressions of handmade objects and the precise expertise of machines. I allow the objects to hold the memory of what used to be whilst trying to create a vision of what is to come.
