My current work examines the delicate connections<br />
that bind us to what is no longer tangible.<br />
I am influenced by elements that exist<br />
in the peripheral of daily activity such as patterns<br />
or wallpaper <strong>and</strong> explore ideas of nostalgia.<br />
Through the use of repetition <strong>and</strong><br />
h<strong>and</strong> cut paper I attempt to glimpse what is<br />
fleeting <strong>and</strong> the perseverance of holding on.<br />
