Ideas of memory, fragility and transition run through my work, through the use of fragile materials such as ash, dust, reflections in water and also the imagery within painted ephemeral family portraits and translucent portraits that I have crafted from old photographs which are placed on glass.
I make ethereal veils as masks of my family ancestors. I place thin films of ash, dust and dirt on floors
