“How many aspects of a thing can you strip away before it ceases to be what it is called; when does something cease to be itself and become something else; when does meaning fall apart or definition stretch until it shreds?” — Orwell’s Roses by Rebecca Solnit
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 my work is an interest in exploring commonly held perceptions of beauty, nostalgia, and waste and questioning what we as humans find valuable.
