I have always been intrigued by how our lives and identities are made up of a series of arbitrary events and circumstances - biological, social, geographic, environmental, and so on - and yet we’re constantly improvising and choreographing our paths with every decision we make. To me, these choices, not always our own, are like tiny dots that make up the lines that will ultimately shape our lives as individuals, as a society, and as beings on this Earth. We’re all inhabiting one of many possibilities of existence.

My work investigates and inhabits these concepts of determinism and free will by forging an unplanned starting point and, from that, uncovering which of the many possibilities each piece wants to become. Every piece represents a crystallized set of decisions, shaped by emotional resonance and deliberate choices regarding the formal aspects of the work, informed by my graphic design and art direction background. One crystallized version of its many possibilities, much like ourselves, our world, our reality and our shared future.

Motherhood plays a pivotal role in my work, in creating boundaries as well as a source of inspiration and a constant invitation to play and trust my intuition. My choice of material is deeply impacted by it, I work with very few elements at a time, with materials that are familiar, domestic, readily available and non-toxic. Such as paper, scraps, thread, ink and coloured pencils. They reflect the environment and the human scale in which life and the artwork are unfolding and lend themselves to meditative repetition and serendipity.

This creates a space for me to pursue my concern and curiosity for themes such as the nature of identity, choice and chance, alongside our constant impulse to bend nature and ourselves into apparent order and boundaries.
