ARTIST STATMENT

I am an interdisciplinary artist that flows between performance, wearable sculptures, soundscapes, and figurative paintings. Through my work I explore internal tensions, contradictions, and influences, while letting the dissonance of life breathe. I often sit within myself and look into the dark corners of my psyche and let them unfold into a feeling, then I create from there. With my work, I hope people make connections within themselves that have long been forgotten.
