Artist Statement
My work serves as a bridge of cultures. I explore the profound connection between the past, the present and the possible future. Investigating the complexities of the human condition in relation to identity, memory and labor. My sculptures routinely blend the earthy texture of stoneware and raw reclaimed clay with harsh industrial scraps. Integrate found objects and detritus of consumption to articulate the contemporary landscape in which the human figure exists. Formally, my assemblage practice creates tension where the organic meets the engineered. My work acknowledges that identity isn’t just organic anymore rather a rugged assembly of natural necessity and manufactured influence. The resulting forms aren’t just aesthetically pleasing; they are structurally defiant, using the inherent strength of their mixed-media makeup to articulate a language of fortitude and resilience. Thus, creating a space to question, complicate and introduce new forms of interpretation of today’s world.
