Artist’s Statement

I consider all my works Tentative Itineraries.
I investigate themes of travel, migration, and displacement and question the stability of notions of personal identity as home, nation, and native language. My work offers a visual narrative of the contradictory nature of human desire: the struggle between affirmation and negation, assimilation and marginality, complicity, and escape.
Geographical and historical attributes of confluence and collision of my Mediterranean culture inform my practice and I draw from my bilingualism – Italian, my first language, and English – to develop my works.

My practice consists of mixed-media works, which include site-specific installations and book-works that focus on the reclamation of the old and its transformation into the new. I re-utilize used geological and geographical maps, personal, found, and mass-produced items, favouring a minimalist approach to size and media.
