Roaming House, a journey home, is the closest thing I have to a map of myself. For more than ten years it has followed me through grief and repair, across changing jobs, shifting roles, and all the versions of ‘home’ that didn’t quite hold. The house moves because I move. It keeps standing because, somehow, I do too.
This body of work is my identity laid out on canvas — built from memory, doubt, persistence, and the people and places that have held me up. It doesn’t depend on trends or permission. It feeds itself. It keeps evolving, even when I’m tired. In that way, it’s become a self-sustaining ecosystem, rooted in community and slow growth.
Now the land under it is shifting. My work, my life, my sense of where I belong as an artist are all in motion. And in that movement, Roaming House is finding a new identity — not abandoning what it’s been, but stretching into what it could become if given more room, more land, more hands to meet it.
Whether doors open or not, something in the trajectory has already changed.
Roaming House, a journey home, continues to stand on its own legs —
and as the ground shifts beneath it, so do I.”
