Objects of Connection 2019-now

I am influenced by tools used for everyday tasks, particularly those found in the kitchen such as colanders, spoons and bowls. In my own history, the kitchen was always the domain of mothers and grandmothers, a place of gathering, offering and warmth. Using tools of nourishment and shared experience as inspiration, these Objects of Connection reflect my desire to bridge divides and build relationship.

Finding the capacity for understanding requires both intention and care, and so I engage in meticulous repetitive acts of making while I think about mending and uniting. Through incremental change I build a space where differences merge into something in-between. Perhaps in this place of connection, we can find possibility.
