My practice explores how power structures shape what we see, obscure truths, and manipulate meaning. I work with text and found images, using free-motion embroidery, digital fabrication, and printmaking to transform fragments of political rhetoric, public messaging, and visual culture. By isolating and recontextualizing language and imagery, I examine how meaning shifts through absence—navigating the space between clarity and ambiguity, abstraction and representation. My work engages with contemporary issues like gun violence, the refugee crisis, and political discourse, examining how removal from original contexts reshapes these narratives.

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 offer a different mode of attention while mirroring the fragmentary focus of my text-based work.

Free-motion embroidery remains central to my practice. Using a standard sewing machine adapted to allow unrestricted fabric movement, I emphasize the labor, tactility, and slowness of mark-making as a counterpoint to the speed of contemporary media and political messaging.
