Artist statement
As an artist and a mother of two daughters, my work explores the complexities of motherhood while also highlighting the continuous act of play, exploration, and imagination. My series, Sticks and Stones, examines these notions through the use of black and white photography, drawing, color, and nature while collaborating with my daughters (now 3+6 years old). We walk, we look, we document, we print, and then they draw. The drawn-on black and white photographs are then scanned and reprinted at a larger scale. My focus is on mark-making and the casual ways that it occurs in nature and in all the ways that we interfere with and mark the earth: temporary, permanent, and sometimes by the hand of a carefree child.
