My work challenges patriarchal systems that use visual culture to tell one-sided stories that endorse gender and ecological oppression. I research historical systems of visual power across time and look for the hidden narratives within. I reimagine the history of painting as a system skins and structures, which I materially reorganize into a new language of non-hierarchical abstraction. These collage works speak to the history of tapestry as a tool for patriarchal narrative expression by using historically feminized materials and methods of production as stand-ins for the too-often erased female and other presence within these historical narratives.
