Cardboard is a frequent item found in my work. Why? Because it's always around due to being a highly mobile, chronically unhoused person. Cardboard is more than moving boxes to me. It's a canvass that tells part of my relocation story. Every box packed and unloaded is currency. My ancestors had suitcases, bags, clothes on their backs, and seeds in their hair. Their stories were passed along to me through layered DNA. Using that around me, I commune with the cardboard to express stories of transitions, resiliency, and my search for a home that lies inside my womb.
