My work engages in a questioning of object and spatial representation by reconciling precision with personal experience. I explore ways of evidencing the value of emotional memory over physical memory by investigating the affective bonds we maintain with objects and spaces through the memory contained in them. My body of work is built as an archive of spatial research methodologies at different scales, where I seek to pinpoint invisible, inherent, or emotional relationships.
