ARTIST STATEMENT
I grew up the daughter of a Navy fighter pilot, and from the late 70's to the early 80's my family was stationed in Yokohama, Japan. I was an infant/child transplanted into a culture with a different language and surrounded by impressionable and powerful visuals for a child – all awash with vibrant, saturated colors.
As I explore the childhood memories and nostalgia of this time, it is paramount to address my family’s multigenerational participation in the militarization of the Pacific. My place of privilege as a white, cisgender, heterosexual daughter of a naval officer and granddaughter and great-niece of Navy Rear Admirals has (until my adult years) veiled my ability to recognize the impact the United States military has had – and continues to have – on entire societies, economies and the natural environments that sustain them. This ongoing revelation as an adult challenges my ability to find an appropriate artistic expression for the seemingly endless layers of my experience living in Japan as a military dependent. This ongoing body of work serves as a fractured, visual correlate for a remembered reality that oscillates between gradients of cultural discovery, family honor and systemic oppression.
