Through many different visual disturbances her drawings and prints question representation,memory and potentially our relationship to natural forces – where one begins and ends. How an event such as the Tsunami in Japan in 2011 alters the immediate surrounding landscape but also becomes part of our own image of the world.The idea that within catastrophe there is the potential of new unrealized borders – turning static places into shifting fragmented spaces where the inside is outside – sites of disappearance and erasure but also accumulation these are central to her thinking about drawing.
