Every day we communicate. Verbally. Non-verbally. Someone talks. Someone hopefully listens. In my work, I explore methods of communication within familial relationships through materials, shapes and paintings. I am interested in where communication breaks down and where/how it flourishes as well as challenging familiar familial roles. Through the juxtaposition of known objects in unfamiliar combinations, I hope to challenge these roles and individual attitudes towards them from the inside out. I try to explore where and how communication breaks down and informs relationships, including my lack of relationship with any family on my father’s side. Since he began his life in a camp in WWII Germany and emigrated to America with his mother (who passed upon arrival) and sister, any ancestral information ends at my father. By exploring this lack of knowledge and reworking familiar imagery of the home, I want to challenge traditional typical familial narratives while also exploring my own ancestral heritage. My work begins from a sense of traditional domestic roles, my tendency to rebel against them and the personal lack of communication that I experience within my family.
