Artist Statement:
I make sculpture, wall works, video, and installation. Through experimentation with different media, I explore symbolic meaning and the relationship between materials and actions.
My practice is guided by curiosity and a strong connection to materials. I am interested in how objects carry meaning and how structures can hold, shift, or break. In my work, I explore the space between form and feeling, function and instinct, industry and intimacy.
