My current work focuses on my relationship to Lebanon, Missouri and more specifically to my grandma -- my only surviving grandparent, my mother’s mother, a ninety-eight year old woman born on the family farm just outside of Lebanon by way of the Linn Creek Star Route on the dry glaze. Through this series of works I explore the sense of belonging that I always felt with the town of Lebanon. The work transports its audience to this place, albeit an altered _expression. The experiences and memories are reordered collected items juxtaposed with my marks and modes of collage. The overall content and context begins to challenge traditions of historical thought. For example, the centerpiece is an altered found book that was once a history of modern Europe but now reflects the specific history of my relationship to my familial records.
