Artist Statement
Using performance, installation, sculpture, and craft, my work investigates all types of relationships from intimate personal human-to-human relationships such as familial to the larger global relationship of humans to the Earth. Each piece or series is unique to its process, which results in visual and thematic diversity within my larger body of work.
Beginning with an observation or questioning of a situation that intrigues me, artistic endeavors serves as an investigation of this topic. Development of these ideas into a physical or conceptual object happens through research or introspective exploration. Whether the research is scientific, physical, or personal, it is crucial to the work; from determining what medium to use through final presentation, it plays a key role in every aesthetic decision that is made throughout the process.
