          My art and research practice often involve how memory functions and how we store and recall memories of our past. Memory plays an essential part in how individuals and groups construct their identities. To understand how memory affects identity, one must first understand how individuals come to remember and identify themselves. The ability to remember comes not only from presence but also from what is absent. Memory, remembering and forgetting are closely linked on an individual and collective level. Our recollections however are often fictional and what we choose to store is subjective in nature. My artistic practice continually challenges the question “What is the truth of our memories?”  The surfaces of the paintings are layered and manipulated representing my peregrination of the obscured boundary between creation and the potential for destruction.
