Artist Statement

As a kid I worked as a cutter in the apparel industry with my extremely dysfunctional family in downtown Los Angeles. It was a sort of sweatshop circus of mental and sexual abuse. After therapy, pattern making seemed to creep into my artwork as a kind of redemption.

I am intrigued with the shapes and forms of clothing fragments and I cut each piece with the same hand tools I used growing up, as it is/was a methodical activity in which to distract myself from the pain of the past.

Imagery comes to me in dreams and I am obsessed with exploring their meaning and my identity as a woman and a Jew, and my place in this world. There is also a quasi-scientific study of self that weaves throughout.

...Somewhere within this method of expressing myself, I find positive resolutions to this mess that is me.
