ARTIST STATEMENT
For many years, my work has primarily been informed by my life as a type 1 diabetic. I’m interested in art-making as an opportunity to play and experiment, and I think this stems from a lifetime of adhering to rules and routines for my health and well-being. Over the years, I have discovered artistic processes that mimic my daily life with diabetes—processes that explore repetition and routine, control, order, and risk. While my early work is quite literal, my more recent work explores the broader idea of illness versus wellness and the day-to-day fluctuations of my mental health.
