Abstracted diary entries.

A breakup leads to a frowning woman.

A calm stops at a minimalist composition.

A frustration dresses in drag for a performance.

A goofiness asks, “How many single lesbians are there at red lobster?”

A lost sense of time collages a playful zine.

Anger and lust obsess over brain scans of women’s orgasms.

The process is a form of open-ended play.

Starting points evolve through paint, fabric, digital interferences, and other things...

It starts with a collage, a disturbing statistic, a photograph of a carpet, an extremely pleasing blob…

The archive builds on the blob.

The archive is the camera roll, pattern designs, wrapping paper from last Tuesday, the favorite sweater, the street sign nearby, the family photo, and all the works that came before.

The archive expands and the articles reused. Recycled.

There are many obsessions including but not limited to collage, bright colors, the word “woof,” queer women, a creature that symbolizes a soul, and bubbly flowers.

My process is a form of open-ended play. Past works move through fast-paced multi-media ideation to create new imagery and concepts.

Frequently, the process includes paint, the computer, and textile design methods.

There is the Artist and the (assumed female) Decorator and/or Designer. These personalities build on each other while generating the following questions and conceptual implications:

• What is the role of technology in contemporary painting?

• The Pattern and Decoration movement

• Etc.

The work is self-referential across all forms. One shape could appear in a drawing, a repeat pattern design, a painting, a video, etc.

The content often involves queerness, feminist ideas, spiritual beliefs, recent emotions, humor, and/or other concepts. These ideas sometimes bolster or reject a sense of identity. There is an attachment to the label of “queer female artist” alongside a belief in a communal soul freed from ego.
