I create spaces and objects for action and reflection.

 

My background is in sound art. I now work in a variety of media, including sculpture, photography, video, drawing, and sound. My current work references alchemy, nature, and the Anthropocene. I use materials such as rain, snow, sand, earth, paper, and wildly colored plastic gems and wigs to construct images and objects that are both magical and therapeutic: provocative reminders that transformation and change can be both possible and beneficial.

 

For the past year+ I’ve been working on concurrent interdisciplinary projects. I’m creating an immersive world: an ongoing installation that mutates and grows over time. I’m influenced by the work of numerous drag queens, bower birds, alchemists, amateur mycologists, poets, and Tibetan thangka painters. I’m interested in dissonance and maximalism and the power of oppositional forces: what tensions and artifacts result when one or more things come in contact. This focus feels particularly relevant today, when the world crumbles and artists strive to reenergize and connect our fellow humans.

 

I'm worried about the world and believe that art plays a vital part in fixing it. Making is an act of resistance and hope.
