Statement:

I meditate on an understanding of the becoming and undoing of the world as it is lived through the body. My work fixates on death and decay, but searches simultaneously for tenderness and sensitivity. My practice is interdisciplinary, focused on material meaning and process. I am guided by a subjective experience of my own body, but expand into broader conversations of inter-embodiment and interconnectivity in hopes of producing affective empathy.
