Artist Statement
Much of my work deals with tensions between art and craft, class and taste, sentiment and spectacle. I am interested in the associations denim has as a working class, American material.
During this residency I will create a series of pulp paintings using stencils and making blowouts, not unlike work done at a previous papermaking residency at Women’s Studio Workshop and in the studio at Dieu Donne. The works will incorporate elements of pattern and repetition.
