Despite the unreliability of tools like memory, language, and the senses, I still rely on them to interact with the world. By assembling these fragments into a narrative, I create my sense of self as a simplified composite of experiences, influences, reactions, ideas, and contexts. In this body of work, my artistic process mimics my process of self-construction. I compile various imagery into surreal scenes that create open narratives. In this way, the process of creating my artwork reflects the assemblage of my sense of self while also leaving room for viewers to engage with the work from their narrative stance.
