Evidence of Coveted Chaos is in response to the delicate balancing act that many artists face of sustaining one’s studio practice while adapting to the everyday life
obligations, trials and tribulations. As a mother, rearing two small children during a global pandemic, modifying teaching modalities as an educator, and shifting daily routines to acclimate to the ongoing impacts of climate change has in turn become a source of inspiration, absorbing moments and experiences that are ultimately presented as collected objects and mixed-media drawings on paper.
