I start with things I find: pictures, letters, ads, fabric, idea fragments that belong to other people, and then I fill in the blanks with my own story.

Sensitivity makes me vulnerable to emotions and perceptive to life and our history. When I tell people about my artwork I say “There’s a little bit of me in there, there’s a little bit of you in there”....
