Artist Statement

For the past few years, I have been creating works on crepe paper using the typewriter, sometimes accompanied by the sewing machine. The combination of the vintage condition typewriter and the effort of typing results in type of varying detail; likewise, due to the paper’s malleability, marks and stitches and the paper itself are somewhat distorted. These variables contribute to results that are surprising and unexpected. In my work, I explore the uncertainty of chance and the idea of transformation.
