Artist statement:

Her practice is grounded in an ongoing investigation of the tension between freedom

and constraint, movement and stillness, and the interplay of organic, dynamic forms

against repetitive and predictable backgrounds. At first glance, her works appear to

stage an encounter between geometric structures and rhythmic patterns with gestural,

improvised lines. Yet beneath this formal dialogue lies a deeper meditation on her lived

experience of repetition
