A paradox of simultaneous sincerity and humor, my work attempts to identify deficient systems upon which we rely daily. Materials and discarded objects such as vintage tools, automotive parts, spray paint, string, furniture, plastic, S&M ephemera, and glitter merge into unsteady structures that hint at new narratives of their functionality, or lack thereof.
My selection of objects is based on their interpretability; the easier it is to read into the object, the more likely it is that the object in question will become a component in one of my sculptures. This is done so that the viewer can, almost certainly, find something seemingly recognizable and make connections between their experiences and the forms in their presence.
Rarely is resin allowed to be itself as a material, it is all too often an actor being cast as another object. I allow the viscous liquid to flow and drip and cascade upon found objects as well as itself. The resin does not need to be cast as anything other than itself, for it is inherently dramatic as a material that captures fluid motion.
Questioning realms of visual and verbal language, aesthetics, and functionality are fundamental to my practice as they are constantly discussed, edited, and revised by theorists, critics, artists, and the audience. I work towards an end that constantly evades me so that I can perpetually work, absorb, make, and converse. My current body of work recognizes the process of solving a puzzle that cannot be solved, despite the illusion of resolution, which indicates that the answer is never absolute; rather, it endlessly evolves.
