This site was created with images of nesting dolls, brown stains on white carpet, and venn diagrams in mind. I want to show that all areas of practice (drawing, sculpture, writing, and performance/video) are separate, but often bleed into one another.
Thank you Herdimas Anggara for guiding me through this process and coding it into existence!
