My work explores how the objects around us act as vessels for memory. We understand objects through a framework of familiarity and association; one object helps to understand another. In search of a way to hold onto memories that are long gone, objects from different moments in my life are cast, sculpted, and arranged to create new forms that hold many memories at once. Objects are grouped by shared associations, forming narratives through their relationships. Through this process, I create work with a memory of its own, while maintaining the form of the original object. This serves as not a representation of the item, but my own, idealized version of what once was.
