My work is based on my experiences in a domestic world. The medium I use varies depending on the visual record that best corresponds with my current subject matter. I have used photography to document the meals that I have created for my family. Endurance performance art enables me to show the physical struggles of nurturing my family.

Through these works I am exploring my identity as a mother a wife and as a woman. The role I perform has been rooted in me from my mother and grandmother. The way I interact with my own family is a product of past traditions and recreating them to function in contemporary society. For example game night no longer involves charades; rather it is movie watching and playing video games.

My current work deals with gendered spaces. I worked with the floor plan of my own home. The blue and pink fields indicate the male and female use of the space. By creating a rug, I am taking a common domestic object and using it as a foundation medium to show my current domestic role. Traditionally I have always known a welcome rug to be the first material encountered when I have entered any of my homes, thus it becomes my foundation for which to recreate my role.

The physical action of rug hooking interested me as it slows down time, the process of cutting wool and hooking it onto the mesh frame is slow and intricate, making me conscious of my movements especially that on my hands in relation to the high speed technological world that continues at normal speed around me. I am interested in assuming the role of my mother and grandmother spending countless hours in my family room. Passing time in a quiet manner, yet still being productive. This time has made it possible to withdraw from the outside world and be nestled in my safe environment. This is significant as it brings my past and presence into one space.
