Artist's Statement:

In the Medieval Age, illuminated manuscripts were works of art that required years of painstaking labor to complete. The artisans that dedicated their lives to this practice would stretch parchment, crush paint, design type, and gold leaf these precious pages by hand. They found that the repetitious, laborious work became its own form of worship as they adapted the words of venerated apostles, kings and emperors. In the era of A.I.—when image-making can happen at the click of a mouse— what does our labor say about the nature of art? Whose voices do we glorify? In Playground Hymns, I took my childhood journals and consecrated them through the process of designing, painting, and gold-leafing individual entries. The words of a young girl became sacred through the meditative practice of art-making.
