We Contain Multitudes

I work with multiple exposures and mixed media, layering old film strips, found photographs, vintage ephemera, charcoal, and my own images.

For a long time, I questioned why I was adding more to the page when I wanted less in my life.

I've come to understand that these layers aren't about accumulation, but about uncovering.

Each layer holds a fragment of time. As they overlap, they hide and reveal one another until something begins to emerge. I don't start with a fixed idea of what I'm looking for. The process is one of paying attention, following the image until I recognize something I couldn't see before.

I'm drawn to the way memory leaves traces rather than complete stories. What interests me isn't recreating the past, but noticing what remains - what continues to surface beneath the noise of everyday life.

The words come last. They aren't explanations, but fragments that seem to belong to the image, leaving space for the viewer's own recognition.
