STATEMENT

At the heart of my work is a love of materiality, a fascination with living systems, and an ongoing curiosity about what it means to be alive. My primary focus is sculpture installation and I work to invite viewers into imagined biological systems where it can often be hard to tell if the forms are healthy or harmful growths. Each work evolves through a series of installations that shift and grow with each exhibition and through an ongoing evolution of the forms, I aim to suggest limitless potential for growth, movement, and transformation in the world around us.
