Working predominantly in sculpture and works on paper, I take my inspiration from everyday surroundings, mundane moments, and discarded materials. I manipulate uncommon mediums and subject matter in such a way as to create pieces that, despite their rudimentary origins, appear mysterious and difficult to categorize. Central to this work is an interest in exploring commonly held perceptions of beauty, nostalgia, and waste and questioning what we find valuable.
