In the artist’s own words:
“Collectively, these works ask what it means to represent a space that is such a multidimensional concept. Is it a place, a feeling, a practice, or a state of being in the world? How we, as individuals, think about home is charged with emotion, and may evoke feelings of safety, comfort, privacy, healing, connection and intimacy; just as it may evoke feelings of isolation, loss, melancholy, anxiety, or terror..”
