Approached through a lens of reordering and discovery, my work investigates decorative and structural shifts that occur over a building’s lifespan. Growing up in New Orleans as the daughter of an electrician, I spent my formative years in historic residential properties at varying stages of construction and deconstruction. I found that even when abandoned, the presence of the body still lingered.”
