Lost and Buried Things

I’m excited about my first solo show in Vienna! This is a sober yet hopeful collection of work chronicling the connectedness and separations of the past several years; there’s a lot of plant imagery and a lot of paper scraps. Throughout this project, I considered artist Mako Fujimura’s discussions on soil as something made up of dead things that decompose, and our cultural contributions as humans as a form of planting within that soil that we are given. These pieces are very journalistic and personal, with lots of stories and conversations hidden in the scraps I’ve layered together during this past year. It helped me to transform these thoughts and feelings into images and symbols, and I hope that there is some universality to these experiences that can bring a sense of togetherness for viewers who have walked through similar moments of loss and isolation.
