As a child I went on archaeological digs with my father. Tiny shards and arrowheads revealed stories that enriched the land around us. Much of my artwork imagines phenomena both seen and unseen.
What is the architecture, the symbolism of the vessel? It is a place of potential, never finalized, always filling and emptying, or going from one place to another.

My Data pictures were inspired by a conversation about particle behavior with a quantum physicist. During the conversation I struggled to find a framework or metaphor for complex particle behaviors, and so I found myself interrogating my own methods for thinking.
For example: How many methodologies are there for confronting or organizing new ideas, information and/or data? Can they be counted or cataloged? Could I make a visual collection of these methods/structures? Data Pictures is an ongoing exploration of structures for displaying information and making meaning.
Pseudologia is a photography book that examines the metaphysics of objects, probing the unseen and in-between spaces of daily life. The photographs are experiments highlighting unexpected relationships, playing in a zone of slippage, of excavation.
Pseudologia refers to the rare phenomena pseudologia fantastica, also known as mythomania, which is a kind of pathological lying. The title pokes fun at the artist, who lives part of the time in an alternate reality, where she “listens” to objects, mines shapes, constructing and deconstructing images in order to make them give up their secrets.
