I create new stories from old, using material found in filing cabinets, drawers and envelopes. Questioning the ways in which histories attach to these miscellaneous objects, textiles and photographs I make work both in my basement studio and with communities to share fragmented stories passed down by different generations. These artworks and collaborations celebrate hidden stories of survival, exploring how memory, trauma and forgetting intersect.
