My work is largely sculptural though I often skirt into painting, installation, and performance. What unites my work is a shared sensibility of provocative materials, drawing out their tangible sensuality whether it be steel, wool, broken glass, or found objects.

My work is poetic in nature, choosing to focus the viewer’s attention on iconic objects that are haunted by contradiction. I temper their inherent tragedy which comedy, whimsy, and playfulness. I often return to themes of feminism, consumerism, militarism, and nature as well as drawing upon how memory and history are continuously recycled in our present-day popular culture resulting in a condition of stagnant nostalgia. I wish to remind those who interact with my work of the fragility of life and to evoke in them a passion for the mundane and the everyday.

I hope to reawaken in the viewer an appreciation of the present moment: how fleeting and unique it is, how it connects to what has happened before (history) and our power to change what will come next (the future). I bear witness to this contemporary moment that I live in, evoking people’s inherent power and collective strength. My work is a humanistic appeal to the many things that connect us.
