ARTIST STATEMENT:
The conceptual basis of my work explores the complexities and vulnerabilities of the human mind. I am particularly interested in the way the brain processes and stores information, and how experience is translated and memory recalled. The work is informed by my research of inflicting effects upon memory and motor function relevant to the aging adult.
