ARTIST STATEMENT
Within every maker’s workshop evidence of the efforts performed on each finished piece can be found coating tools and gathered at the bases of machines. Although these remains are considered waste I find each trace of labor to hold a great amount of importance. The accumulation of every mark on a tool and pile of dust becomes a physical representation of the entirety of actions a craftsperson has imparted onto their work.
My current body of work aims to memorialize the heart that is poured into these workspaces through the documentation and collection of the remnants produced. By focusing on what remains, the objects i create serve as monuments solely dedicated to the artists' intensive process instead of the finished artworks they produce.
