My studio practice examines how objects become entangled with memory, inheritance, decoration, and personal history. I am interested in the ways people assign emotional value to things, how objects come to represent relationships and experiences, and what happens when the physical object and the memory attached to it begin to diverge.

Trained as a metalsmith, I work across jewelry, altered objects, textiles, installation, and material research. Decorative traditions and domestic objects recur throughout the work as systems of communication. A pattern, heirloom, place setting, piece of jewelry, or damaged object can carry histories that are both intimate and cultural.

Across these bodies of work, I return to questions of what objects preserve, what they distort, and what we ask them to hold for us. How much of an object’s meaning belongs to the thing itself, and how much do we bring to it?
