Artist Statement
Following a pregnancy loss in 2024, I pivoted from conceptual work to the intuitive medium of collage, visually processing what I could not yet articulate in words. The multidisciplinary nature of my practice adapts to the rhythms of caregiving, using materials like postpartum care objects, magazine cutouts, and my grandmother’s fabric stash—portable and “child-safe” for work at the dining table or playground. Original collages transform into material as I photocopy and print them in various sizes, cut and rearrange them into new forms. The work serves to both celebrate and subvert the forces held and placed on maternal bodies like fertility and conception, caregiving and domestic labor.
