My practice investigates how power structures shape perception, obscure truths, and manipulate meaning within political and social systems. Working primarily with text, I use free-motion embroidery, digital fabrication, and printmaking techniques to transform fragments of political rhetoric, public messaging, and institutional language into visual forms. By isolating language, I explore how meaning emerges from absence, examining the interplay between abstraction and representation, clarity and ambiguity.

In parallel, I create embroidered close-up landscapes drawn from my family's farm—fields, vegetation, and terrain rendered through line and stitch. These works, while not overtly political, ground the practice in lived, physical experience and mirror the focus on fragments seen in my text-based work.

Across media, I select materials in response to each project's conceptual framework. Free-motion embroidery—a technique that uses a standard sewing machine adapted to allow unrestricted fabric movement—remains central to this process, emphasizing the labor, tactility, and slowness of mark-making.
