Artist’s Statement

I am a process-based interdisciplinary artist with works that are truthfully sincere, but simultaneously tongue in cheek. Recently I’ve been working with kinetics, glass, sound, and prefabricated objects to create works that examine psychological states including reliance, perseverance, efficiency, and futility. I use glass as a means of assigning tension and allure to installations, while re-purposed industrial hardware create a context of questionable purpose. These precarious situations are playfully suspenseful with an endearing ability to challenge preconceived notions of art, functionality, and production.
