My body of work is influenced by my journey searching for a place I can call ‘HOME’. I have made a series of nests that are a metaphor for home. The nest is a protective structure and extremely fragile. In my work the nest is in a state of unravelling and falling apart, or being built up. The threads that build the nest are also shredded pages of my journal. My journal contains my intimate thoughts that cannot be read. The layering of the nest is an attempt to rebuild a strong structure and make a permanent home that I feel I do not have.
