Artist Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am making art in search of answers.\u00a0I am determined to figure out the ghost percentage of each person,\u00a0and how that percentage is measured. I am searching for connections between disembodied teeth, twins, bats and egg shells. I am interested in how I can participate in charms, covens and myths.<\/p>\n

I am seeking instructions on giving birth,\u00a0on reconciling with forgotten shopping malls,\u00a0on combinations of words that reveal hidden places,\u00a0on being part ghost,\u00a0on the landscaping of mouth roofs.<\/p>\n

I am making art to create spaces and landscapes. I want to build cities that will bring to life a place where people aren\u2019t afraid of farts or menstrual blood or unmatched clothing. Maybe a lake where vampires are invited to swim and happiness isn\u2019t a mandate. I want to build a city where my Mom can burp and my Dad can cry and being old is valuable and being young is valuable. \u00a0I feel a confused yearning to build a shopping complex full of viscous, blue, chlorinated water.<\/p>\n
