Statement
I am a multidisciplinary artist who works with basic materials and traditional craftsmanship to fashion woven, welded or wooden constructions. My materials vary with each project and my methods incorporate domestic handicrafts like hand-weaving, embroidery and knitting with fine art fabrication and foundry work. I am also a Creole woman of color from New Orleans who has lived in Texas for 17 years. Outside of my place of origin—and I am usually outside my place of origin—I am ambiguously other and my work is my response. Central to this work is the personal history of each material I use as my objects do not pretend to be without a past. With mixed media works that include unuseful tools, unwearable clothes, and unfamiliar furnishings, I attempt to conjure a world where superstition and religion, race and gender, and the mystical and the laborious are the foundation stones upon which the home is built. Throughout I allude to the writers of the American South and to a story of identity, unique to time and place. I seek to explore dark themes of inhumanity, blend them with mysticism, and open the door to redemption.
