My work, multimedia in nature but rooted in painting, deals in the language of pattern and reproduction. These patterns come from my own personal memory of home, extend to my family history, and speak to a collective memory of American homemaking and design history. By reproducing these patterns with material and media integral to industry, I’m engaging in a process of collection. This collecting serves as a means of memory keeping in a shifting world with increasingly fraught community structures and intentionally fractured collective memory. Beyond this role of collecting and archiving, my aesthetic choices in the selecting, editing, and combining of this decorative material speaks to the history of family taste making as women’s work. By presenting and representing familiar pieces of home, sometimes fractured and always altered, I speak to the nuances of our homes and the people in them.
