Most days end in the late afternoon, and I work with history podcasts playing as I focus on the tasks in front of me."
"A lot of my practice looks at how women's spaces extend or shift - from domestic rooms to the body and everyday labor - so working in a home studio becomes part of that reference.

Work takes place in a small home studio used for five years. Typical days begin around 8 or 9 a.m., four to five days weekly, with concentrated sessions that avoid eating and entertainment.

Neighborhood interactions with East Asian restaurants and shops provide community context alongside visits to Los Angeles art openings.
