Q & A

Are you the grandmother? I mean no disrespect nor do I want you to reveal an age if you are not comfortable with the question.

Hi! I’m not the grandmother but the granddaughter.

Artist Statement:

Taking the sacred and banal everyday as material, I am interested in the geriatric as a realm for new spaces of imagination. More specifically, I have a deep belief in the rich worlds that elderly females hold within them: fascinating, complex dimensions that go hidden today and which are at once warm, humorous, rigid, open, wise, eccentric and absurd. These worlds are inspiring material for relational art-making in thinking about form, aesthetics and audience.
