I am reborn a woman, time and time again, morning by morning, in
my birthing vessels that shelter ephemeral scraps of remembrance, lingering
on the edge of futile reconstruction and forgottenness.
Through a habit of hoarding and fetishizing over objects that remind
me of the past, I try to pin down transient memories remembered and partially
forgotten that construct the personal presence of my womanhood and
femininity. I use self-portraiture, still lives assembled from familiar kitsch
objects, and domestic spaces to view my work through the lens of my grandparents’
house.
