The fundamentals of my work lie within abstraction, the body, and questions. I am drawn to the physical, whether it be a physical site for play, physical transference, or physical actions of the body. One of my earliest series “Last Camp”, relies on that act of transcendence, specifically through generations. This was fostered by my Gran’s move out of her home, a place that I considered my second home. Her home housed so much evidence of destructive mark-making via wood-burning, one that is pictured here. The first text she inscribed onto her home over 30 years ago reads “Last Camp”, believing that this was where she would live the rest of her life; a few years ago, I had this phrase then tattooed on the back of my neck. The act of that phrase living in two places fascinated me, as one does not exist anymore, and one is embedded into my skin. And through documentation of her home before it was torn down, I became somewhat obsessed with capturing every physical representation of my Gran through the question “What does something look like when it doesn’t exist anymore.”
