Artist Statement
For the duration of my life, art has been my method of connecting with myself, others, and the world I live in. It helps my deepest thoughts come to a tangible fruition, and assists me in understanding my experiences. It gives my overactive mind something to really focus on and strive for. Recently, I have been re-defining my approach to my own artmaking. It remains an outlet; but I aspire to challenge others thoughts with my art; in addition to my own. I enjoy creating sculptures, installations, and performance artworks because they challenge the viewer to think about what art is. My art pushes boundaries; whether they be institutional, philosophical, societal, or even physical. All of my pieces have a juxtaposed gentleness to their darker undertones that I take great time and care in my craft to establish. My works reflect modern-day curiosities, and through them I wish to spark authentic conversations.
