Graduation Year: 1994
Artist Statement:
My work for the past five years has centered on essential ideas of building community, storytelling, and home. I use printmaking, people's stories, and the book form in non-traditional ways to create books, sculpture and installations.
I am focused on the stories that are directly around me, as well as themes of small town and family. Wendell Berry said, “Because I’ve never separated myself from my home neighborhood, I cannot identify myself to myself apart from it.” This work speaks about my struggle and delight with my own home neighborhood, and my identifications with other small towns and home neighborhoods.
