As an interdisciplinary artist, I mine expansive histories and potentials of drawing and painting in order to consider the translation of patterns, images, and gestures across materials. In my most current series, I privilege color in service to tactile, geological surfaces on paper, canvas, and panel. Many of the paintings on paper, panel, and stretched canvas are covered in paper clay, and fibery-y materials - and then drawn into by my own and  the fingers, hands, and forearms of my mother and young children, thereby creating indexical moments of our bodies’ traces. Slumping from hooks or towel rod, casting reflected color glows on the wall, and marked by openings, stains, and impressions, the artworks toggle between painting and object, centering process, touch, and the body, contending with issues of abstraction, feminism, collectivity, caretaking, family connection, and transnational identity.
