Growing up in a multicultural home, the daughter of a Nova Scotian, Canadian father and Filipina mother, I use family experience and told history to motivate my work. My practice integrates multiple explorative mediums to evoke the internal power struggle I face when dealing with my own cultural identity and cultural loss. My work investigates and emphasizes the effects and represents the generational harm caused by my mother's suggested assimilation into Canadian culture, personal identity, and family history. Continuously investigating and seeking answers to my lost culture, I now find comfort in the moments of limbo of my accomplishment and failure; I reclaim and represent this back and forth in my art making. I combine personal history and the feelings of anxiety, disconnect, memory, bond, nostalgia, and curiosity. I represent this through the layering, repetition, and manipulation of found family images while incorporating photography, drawing, textiles, and collage.
