ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This body of work brings together ideas around connection and separation. I've been learning about fetal microchimerism and thinking about how interconnected we are through DNA, through the water that cycles through our bodies and our environment, through stardust. I meditatively mix and blend colors of polymer clay, rolling and squishing the clay with my hands. I use a small blade and a sewing pin to shape and place each color onto glass where I build my images. As my hands stay busy, my mind wanders between my flickering memories, the history of the water in my body (has it existed in the sea, the clouds, another body?), and my child’s future. I keep climate anxiety at bay as I unearth childhood traumas and rewrite my history through my daughter. By elevating “low-brow” child’s materials into a referent for the work of mothers, I’m making visible the often unseen act of mothering and ignored inner worlds of children.
