Through mixed media, I explore the intermezzo between time, memory, and the soul. Are we all pieces of what we remember? Does it take the formation of a memory before we can truly value a moment in time? My art is a reflection of the mirror of my soul. Often I look into the mirror and see, breathe, and remember Mother.

I scanned and digitally developed dyed fabric and imagery from cherished vintage photos. Traditional techniques are present but morphed as I built layer upon layer. I mirror imaged Mother and abstractly portrayed her in repetition as I see myself as the child from whom I was born.

“Loving whom you came from is like looking into the mirror and loving yourself.” - Kahil Gibran
