Artist Statement

My work explores, experiments, and negotiates narratives of home that involve ideas of colonization, settlement, and development. This involves the discourse of Art History I encountered in my home country of Canada. It’s narrative and my own life experience interweaves with materials and technologies. My family has a cottage in the area where my maternal German-Jewish great-grandmother’s family settled in the 1880s. It is also an area where some members of the Canadian Group of Seven painted in, and whose work was part of the colonization and nationalist project in Canada, 1915-1930s. My artworks navigate temporal differences, art history, my personal history, experiencing new places, adjusting to old places, materials, narratives and technology.
