Statement

As a painter and sculptor, I center my work in material investigation and felt time. Experimenting with media, I make objects and images that convey a sense of vitality in seemingly inert places. My practice embodies distinct experiences of energized environments, where rocks, dirt, and air seem to hum. I question whether contemporary culture’s demands on our time and attention limit our potential to fully encounter place. I offer moments of mysterious presence through assemblages of sculpture and painting, suggesting invented landscapes that both attract curiosity and deny knowability.
