distraction | thesis work

My art practice begins with experimentation and play before developing a concept, collecting found materials from my daily encounters with visual content and physical materials. I never want this process to disappear in my final designs, making works that highlight the experimental nature of my practice. I am interested in making my works relatable, digestible, and inviting through my labor. In Distraction, I utilize the powers of collage and video to merge handcraft with a heavy digitized medium, creating a piece that encapsulates my working process. 

Materials and circulating content have become an escape, viewing and getting lost in others’ stories rather than diving deep into my own mind. Through the manipulation of materials found in daily life, I highlight my labor while simultaneously providing others an escape from reality.
