"Initially, I began this body of work as a way to connect to my father, a long haul cross-country truck driver who died when I was young. Based on road maps, routes my father often traveled, and an invented conglomeration and fragmentation of those passageways, my works on paper help me piece together the past and make up the parts I cannot know"
These mixed media abstractions map not only physical locations but also psychological and emotional spaces. Connecting paper fragments together through collage, drawing, painting, staining, printing, stitching and cutting paper have become my methods for navigating the blurry terrain of memory and imagination.
