Hi, I’m Michelle
I’m a mixed media artist who works in drawing, painting, and sculpture. My work often melds the human body and nature. This emphasizes our dependence on our natural environment to survive. And, the paradox of our continual abuse and destruction of it. Through my art practice, I explore time. I study its effect on memory, our bodies, and the environment we live in.
My work is process-oriented and based in experimentation. I trust my instincts. I make something and respond to it. I add on and take away, building up and obscuring. The process connects to the content.
I explore the unstable nature of memory by working in layers. Some details emerge while others remain obscured. I push the limits of my materials and use them in unexpected ways. I’m driven by curiosity. What will happen if I combine this with this? My work is in a constant state of flux and change, as we all are.
