I am interested in making work by hand. Images are made up of multiple blocks and each block is carved, inked and printed by hand. Carving and printing woodblocks is time consuming in contrast to our society where everything is made to be fast, efficient and overproduced. My process is a physical reminder of limitations, while serving as a direct response to the tactile act of making things.
My images create a visual narrative, bearing witness to both the ordinary and extraordinary events of human life. I work in series; my prints complete each other as a non-linear account that attests to the complexity of the human condition. Daily life intersects with themes of poverty, relationships, culture, natural disasters and
dumb luck.
My recent work is about my confusion between the personal and the political. About trying to distinguish the point where policy-making and power at the national level collides with the everyday lives of ordinary people.
