Artist Statement

I contemplate mytho-poetic interpretations of possible futures, transient ethos, and how physical connection recenters all life. To consider our world today I investigate what connects co-existing worlds through sculptures and installations. I find unconventional forms that challenge ideas of self hidden in themes like ecology, mysticism, and play. The disordered appearance and unrefined hand-sewing of my own clothes as material, often collides with my perspectives on what is sentimental, unstable and sensitive.
