Artist Statement
The choice to conceal and assimilate was made by my family three generations ago. This series of work addresses my desire to understand the overwhelming idea of birthright and the debts we must pay with our body and mind in order to fit in and survive. The materials used (as metaphor) have been described as: displaced, invasive, transplants, etc. The final objects are reminiscent of traditional jewelry and through each cut and soldered piece I am moving closer to my truth.
