Artist Statement

​

  The reason for the work I make is to remember the past. I have always had this fear of forgetting since I was young and that forgetting the past is to lose part of my current self. The goal of the artwork is to sometimes have the viewer to remember and acknowledge what happened in the past. Other times the goal is to show that our experience as individuals can have similarities to others. 

   The materials I use to create my sculptures change depending on the the object and the memories. My process usually entails creating a sculptural objects based on real world objects such as doll boxes, towers and chocolate boxes. So that they are approachable and people are more inclined to interact with each piece.

    Through my artwork  I am exploring memories from my childhood and the emotional attachment I have towards them. From this I am attempting to recognize and acknowledge my childhood. From my work I would want viewers to recognize, acknowledge their own childhoods. I would also want viewers to see even though their experiences are unique that others may have experienced something similar but have a different emotional attachment.
