Practice
Her artistic practice explores acts of return and revisitation to explore the residues and traces left by experiences and interactions. Through her work she’s interested in the ways photography can suggest traces of invisible forces, and can allude to the potential of translating the intangible into the physical. Often extending the framework of analogue photographic practice through processes of casting and material transferral, she incorporates materials such as glass, bronze, clay, and copper into her work. Her practice focuses on the desire to hold or preserve the ineffable and the loss implicated by this.
