One Step Prints

My work examines the intersections of home, body, and discomfort through printmaking processes such as woodcut and intaglio. Through the use of fabric, paper, and print, I am creating works that draw on nature, touch, and form to speak to emotion and experience. 

Natural motifs, through images that are my own or archived from family albums, reference both literal places or events and symbolic emotional states. I’m creating a visual language that is unique to my story but universal to human experiences or emotions. 

   Emotions and events live on in our bodies like invisible photographs. I aim to bring the body into my work, both literally and imaginatively. First, by creating paper bodies or stomachs that reference my own body. Secondly, through the image-making and printing process, I can move these images from my body into the world.
