My latest solo show explores my experience of my grandmother’s dementia. Through these works, I examine grief as an active process of learning how to love and care in the face of cognitive decline. 

​

Native satin bowerbirds are a metaphor for cognitive theft—animals notorious for stealing blue objects have come to represent the indifferent reality of the nature of illness. 

To counterbalance this loss, faithful dogs and rituals of care surround. These works recognize the solemn privilege of witnessing Nan’s journey and act as a visual representation of my love and care for her.
