Personal imagery and cultural issues are the impetus for my current work.
I am interested in family secrets and the rules and mores that may constrain family behavior or adversely affect a member’s destiny. Since childhood I have found family secrets in documents, writings and letters stored in furniture.
By looking inside furniture and using family possessions, I have made them shed, metaphorically, the secrets and stories that are part of family tradition.
In practice, I focus light and drip water on family objects to discover my ancestors’ stories and secrets to get to know them better and bring their lives, however briefly, into the collective consciousness.
