My work begins with attention and inquiry. I gather objects, words, and observations. They become an evolving archive until a relationship becomes visible and a work begins. I go places. I read and study. I figure things out by making things.

I study the traces carried by old textiles, bones, obsolete objects, language, gesture, movement, and landscape. I want to see how materials deteriorate and change, and what they continue to say. What did they hold? Why are they lost or broken? Why are they here with me?
