Statement

My work begins with a gesture: sweeping, folding, tending. Acts so ordinary they leave no record.

I make installations and performances in public and sacred spaces, repeating domestic tasks to explore the threshold between drudgery and contemplation.

Working with materials, movement, and time, I use my body as a tool to imagine what archives have no evidence for, the sensory and emotional texture of women's lived experience. Where archives are silent, the body can ask different questions: not just what happened, but how it felt. Using the language of ritual and vigil, these pieces make visible the weight, rhythm and duration of gendered labor.

My sources are the lives of saints, mystics, and monastics who made no distinction between spiritual practice and physical labor: devotion expressed in the copying of texts, the sewing of shrouds, the quiet persistence of care. I am drawn to these histories not because their work was chosen freely or experienced as transcendent, but because of what they knew through their bodies: that doing becomes contemplative by way of attention.

Site-specific projects and collaborations are documented through photography and objects: videos, drawings in altered books, stitches in garments, grains of sand. These traces are invitations to slow down and witness, to sense what ordinary time holds and the keepers of history have passed over.
