I am committed to accessibility, not just in how art is experienced but in how it is made – embracing slowness, interdependence, and shared knowledge as integral to the creative process.
This installation is a small retrospective of older works, plus a daybed covered in a blanket with the words Wrap Me In Tenderness stitched on it. The daybed I got for artist residencies and sometimes gallery installation weeks, where I may need to take rests to conserve my energy.
Rest has become part of the creative process for me. It is a method that allows for both listening to what the body needs and space for mindful dreaming.
I see creativity as a form of faith and a way to foster collective care, resilience, and deeper engagement with the world around us.
