I create site and time-specific projects from found materials, responding to place through intuition, research, and hands-on experimentation. My work often engages ideas of adaptability and renewal, while drawing attention to the overlooked objects and rhythms of everyday life. Whether through intentional inquiry or accidental discovery, each piece emerges from a process of making in response to unfamiliar environments.
Travel and residencies fuel my practice. Encounters with new people and landscapes shift how I relate to my surroundings and open questions that unsettle my assumptions. These moments often lead to sculptural or participatory works that reframe discarded materials as carriers of story, history, and potential.
The themes I return to are broad—consumer culture, dream logic, environmental degradation, archetype, semantic satiation, nomadism and vibrant matter. What holds them together is not a single message, but a method: working in layers, repurposing waste, and letting process shape meaning. I treat materials as collaborators, not just resources..
My practice moves with me. I’ve spent time as an artist-in-residence at the Joan Mitchell Center, Sculpture Space, Vermont Studio Center, Stove Works, Basement6, the Birdsell Project, Arteles, Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, Kuona Trust, the Textile Arts Center, Elsewhere Museum and the Tides Institute. Each place has expanded the work and deepened my gratitude for the communities that make it possible.
