Artist Statement
The Other Side of the Moon
Motherhood has deeply shaped my artistic practice, attuning me to the intuitive, cyclical, and often unseen aspects of life. It offers a lived experience of duality—self and other, nurturing and fierce—that echoes through my work as I explore the unconscious forces beneath daily reality.
Through sculpture and layered photography, I engage with imagery such as the moon, stones, and fragments of my children’s bodies as portals into emotional and psychic terrain. The moon’s shifting phases mirror the rhythms of motherhood and the feminine body—cycles of creation, expansion, and return. These natural patterns guide my process, inviting a slowing down and a deeper listening to inner and outer tides.
My work traces processes of wounding and healing—echoes of rupture and repair that mirror the cycles of birth, loss, and renewal. I’m drawn to the tension between the celestial and the terrestrial: the body as both vessel and cosmos, rooted yet infinite. Stones, in particular, serve as anchors of healing—holding the weight of geological time while absorbing the touch of the present moment.
Between geological and human time, I find a space where the slow layering of the earth mirrors the accumulations of memory and care within the body. My practice becomes an act of attunement, revealing the quiet continuities between matter and spirit, body and landscape, the lunar and the living.
