My work examines what happens when institutional records fail to account for lived experience. I study medical and historical documents related to gynecology and care, focusing on what they name, what they misname, and what they leave out. These omissions shape how I work with materials, images, and language.

I use photography, text, and reconstructed documents to examine how information is organized and where its structures break down. Processes such as copying, redacting, and reconfiguring let me work within the limits of the archive while making those limits visible. I am less concerned with correcting these records than with understanding how they determine the conditions under which a body becomes legible.

My own illnesses influence how I approach this material. They shape how I read medical archives and how I understand the medical gaze and its tendency to flatten experience. Illness is not the subject of my work, but it sets its atmosphere: the pace, the forms of attention available, and the sensitivity to what is misread or omitted. Materials that crease, tarnish, or register pressure allow me to mark presence without requiring disclosure.

Photography offers a structural framework for this investigation. I draw on photographic logics—exposure, repetition, delay—to consider what becomes visible and what remains unresolved. These approaches help me examine how images function as evidence and how readily that evidence can be misunderstood or overstated.

My background in facilitation shapes how I think about relation within the work. Years spent in environments focused on trust, group dynamics, and shared problem-solving inform how I construct and connect as a thinker who makes. I consider how viewers move through a space, what they choose to attend to, and how their decisions shape the meaning they build. The work asks for sustained attention rather than immediate interpretation.

Across forms, I work with fragments, margins, and materials that resist full legibility. I use language that shifts under scrutiny and structures that allow uncertainty to remain active. The aim is not to repair the archive, but to make its limits perceptible and to create conditions where attention becomes a form of care and accountability.
