Welcome to Wanderbrook Glen
Artist Statement:
I grew up in rooms that held their breath. Silence was not peaceful… it was the peculiar quiet of a child learning to become small. My work begins there, in those interior spaces, and asks, "What are the stories you need to tell?”
Through sculpture and assemblage, I work with material as memory… objects that hold time the way the body does, imperfectly and tenderly. I am drawn to things that have been waiting: weathered wood, sun-faded plastic, fabric softened by use. These materials speak about resilience and they know something about patience. So I fill my pockets.
My work is built around the emotional architecture of childhood… not nostalgia, but archaeology. I excavate the feeling of being alone in a way that's subtly noticeable, just as I had when I was small. I share my sacred stories softly... it is a strange tenderness with which a child might hold an imaginary friend, or quietly camouflage herself among the natural world. Loneliness, I have come to understand, is not simply an absence… it is a presence that shapes us quietly, room by room.
Empathy as connection is the thread that pulls me forward. The child I was is present in each piece... in the scale of the work, in the relationship of objects, in the spaces I leave empty. I want viewers to emotionally enter a work and find themselves unexpectedly recognized. I’d like for them to rediscover the outline of something they once felt but never named, and accept the sculpture as an entity, inviting them to feel... side by side.
