Artist Statement

Primarily working with installation and various other mediums, my practice navigates themes of process, transformation, and body. Transformation is present in my work in the form of materials, body, and space. I push the boundaries of my materials properties to a point where they become unrecognizable to the viewer. In doing that, I transform the material to reach a new meaning and another state of being. Repetition and process is another key aspect to my work. When making, I have a very physical, tactile, and emotional connection to my process. In repetition, I am able to create a dialogue and relationship with the material on a deeper level. Physicality and sensation of making, as well as, interaction with my art is very prominent in my work. Whether it is primarily visible or embedded within the process, contact with material and body always play a role. Working with installation and performance that results in installation, I focus on presence of body in space and the relationship between art and the viewer. I strive to create a fully immersive environment where the viewer can interact – emotionally or physically – and potentially take away a new perspective from their experience.
