 Artist Statement

"I create sculpture using carved wood, woven rattan, and cast paper pulp. My current research focuses on the connections between craft, performance art, and care ethics. I am interested in objects that serve as vessels for unexpected and emotional interaction through utility, humor, and absurdity. This work contains hidden interiors and unexpected drawers, rewarding the viewer for deep looking. The small luxuries within these works are experienced on an intimate level.

In my practice, I am exploring the role of art-making as a meditative tool for emotional processing. Practicing mindfulness through the use of hand tools and repetitive actions becomes a performance of care and communication. The resulting objects serve as a visual diary, telling secrets between my hands and my brain. My work lives in the space between function and non-function and mirrors my own balance of logic and emotion."
