With all my love + guts, 2019. Handmade greeting cards. Dimensions variable.

“With all my love + guts” (2019) displays a selection of greeting cards made for my late mother over nearly two decades, ranging from simple sketches to elaborate creations. This tender archive reveals traces of the personal and private through diaristic fragments captured in the cards. The title references a birthday card crafted from an airplane barf bag, an inside joke stemming from my frequent travels between NYC and home. Additional pieces from 2015-2017 document and transform everyday occurrences—like finding a stray flower or getting something stuck on your shoe—into poetic meditations on the passage of time and the fleeting nature of experience. These works playfully interweave language, image, and object, pointing to beauty and meaning in the overlooked details of daily life.
