Domestic discards and environments inform and populate my collages. My work embraces a hybrid approach; analog and digital processes coexist in the service of concept. Influenced by notions of domesticity, I consider alternative photographic processes from a subjective point of view. After steeping in hot water, a soggy teabag is discarded and forgotten, yet the stains left behind on the teabag’s translucent skin imitate the exposed grains of silver in a photograph. Reductive abstract compositions, whether hand-stitched or lens-based, colorful or muted, become visually detached from their original context and emphasize a psychological space beyond their physical dimensions or practical function.
