This past year and half, in addition to traversing the ins and outs of motherhood, I had to also figure out how to protect my family and endure through a global pandemic. This added variable to daily life caused me to reflect internally in ways in which I never had and I gave myself the space to process these thoughts and feelings within my studio.
Experimentation has always been integral part of my art practice and I genuinely leaned into exploration and letting go of control during this time. Well-Worn is a series of images composed with the residue left over from another body of work. I stacked the image transfer transparencies on top of each other in various configuration on a flat-bed scanner. The scanner acted as a camera unifying multiple perspectives into one image. The resulting images made visual my internal conflict at this time, in the midst of a pandemic, with two young children, barely ever leaving the house.
