Words are an integral part of her sculptures and installations. A large aspect of her process is the accumulation of elements over time, as she works daily with mundane materials, such as hair, lint, tea, twigs, and paper. Her work is informed by the fragmentation of physical presence in this tech driven age, social issues, and the tensions as a woman to be a wife, a mother, an artist, and a teacher.
