My practice is informed by the history of labor in the American South and its relationship to collective memory. My practice questions how collective memory informs personal and societal ideologies and how this is embodied in and dispersed through materials. How does memory coalesce in objects and sites? How can objects deconstruct historical, communal, and personal myths?
My work investigates the legitimacy of what is remembered and memorialized. I examine labor utilizing repetitive acts- a conversation between process and materials in systemized production. I explore how labor assigns value and meaning to materials and objects. Making my work becomes a ritual as I deconstruct and reconstruct materials. My work takes the form of vessels, sculpturally and symbolically, standing as sites or carriers of objects, memory, and labor.
