My work explores, experiments, and negotiates narratives of home that involve ideas of colonization, settlement, and development. I move a lot, working and living abroad. My work involves the discourse of Art History in Canada I encountered and the change of it’s narrative interweaves with materials. Returning to my home in Canada, my family has a cottage in the area where my German-Jewish great-grandmother’s family settled in the 1880s. It is also an area where members of the Group of Seven painted in, and whose work was part of the narrative colonizing nationalist project in Canada, 1915-1930s. My artworks navigate temporal differences, art history, my personal history, experiencing new places, adjust to old places, materials, narratives and technology.
