Shared Spaces

The “Shared Spaces” series of monoprints inquire into how interior spaces shape experience. I look at what happens between my subjects in these environments and how physical space quietly influences connection. The work asks not only what is taking place, but why it unfolds as it does. These interiors act as emotional containers, holding the residue of rituals such as eating, waiting, working, and gathering. Something as innocuous as a seating arrangement can subtly encode power or intimacy. Figures in these works often appear close yet psychologically separate. The monoprints examine interiors as sites where identity is imposed or resisted, and where proximity does not always guarantee connection.

Happy Family

In this series of monoprints, my family serves as a metaphor for a broader human experience. The images depict family members in familiar settings, reflecting distance within relationships and feelings of uncertainty amid resilience. Through the lens of my family, the work addresses increasing social polarization. This work emerged from entering post-adolescent parenting and the uncertainty that accompanies a child’s move toward independence. Unanswerable questions about care, responsibility, and adequacy inform the work, mirroring the wider sense of distance and unease shaping contemporary society.
