statement
My work draws from personal accounts of family joy and trauma as well as from our shared socio-political climate. Through sculpture, drawing, performance, and video, I create works that use tension, anticipation, and fragility to explore the relationships between humor and healing.
Using time as an essential material, components of my artworks often change form to fracture, fade, or otherwise shift in color, shape, or sound. These relationships evoke physical and emotional responses, which point to a connection between our psychological conditions, material reality, and embodied experiences.
