Artist Statement

I was adopted.

“From where?”

China.

“At what age?”

11 months.

“Do you remember anything?”

The last question always gives me pause.

I was swaddled for the first few months of my life. 

It set me back.

At 18 months I learned to sit up.

At two years I learned basic motor skills.

Picking up and stacking cheerios.

This is the first memory I can recall. 
Anything prior to that is all contained.
