Statement:
I see my work as three dimensional Drawings in motion. I arrange Individual ceramic
components, crochet and wall paintings in different ways to form large installations that
adapt to different spaces. I create narratives based on issues I face in my life and as a
Buddhist I think often about perception of reality, how we create reality, how we can
make a better world by changing the mind. My body of work is one big story that keeps
changing and transforming itself. It is more of a conversation that I continue having with
myself by visual means, it is an artistic representation of ideas and feelings. Themes of
belonging, sustainability, mistrust, loneliness, and connection are based on narrative
points presented through figures of humans, wolves, ravens and other birds. My life
informs my work and vice versa. What you see on the walls is transmitted through
sitting still, reflecting upon dharma talks and my work as a resident artist for The
Creative Center at The Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at Mount Sinai Hospital. Working
with people who have limited capacities affects me bringing an existential degree to my
contemplation about our beautiful planet and all its inhabitants.
