I am interested in the fragility of identity, memory, and notions of time. Using Romantic, ephemeral imagery, my artworks examine the tenuousness of what we remember, how we construct identity, and the relationship of these human endeavors to internal and external narratives.

My photographs, drawings, sculpture, and installations are inspired by personal stories, Victorian literature, poetry, film, and fashion. Through the juxtaposition of diverse sources, from Emily Dickinson to Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca, e.e. cummings to Alexander McQueen, silent films to the novels of Marguerite Duras, symbols from our collective memory emerge, blurring the lines between past and present, fiction and autobiography.
