I push boundaries and generate dialog by exploring and combining multimedia processes in various environments. When meaningful narratives emerge from experimentation, they can result in collections of work with materials and context, deepening the viewer’s experience through emotion, conversation and connections.
As a material-based artist, my work consists of polyurethane resin, foam, wood glue, ceramic, plaster, metal, aluminum, plastic, wood, concrete, found objects, dirt, ink, paint, paper, steel wool, rope, hair dyes, food coloring, iodine, floor laminate, machine parts, furniture, digital components, natural materials—anything really.
