Statement

From life and death, the physical and metaphysical, faith and fact, I explore the relationships of two extremes that flow in cycles. We often think of these polar opposites as separate concepts a part of the same timeline, yet through my art I want to blur this line and show that everything is interconnected within one another to a larger degree than what is tangible. Lives are plagued by death and the assurance, while death is tainted by actions of life. It is the concepts of faith and connection that shapes the importance of which takes greater hold.

I choose mixed media sculpture and ceramics with their intentionality of process to create my pieces. Like the ideas within my art, my process reflects this curious balance between intentionality and the nature of the material. The compositions of my work are cyclical and centered with small details and elements circling around the main focus. I want to guide viewers through my mind expressed through art, not lead them to a conclusion. Although the movement follows along its own cycle, a circle back to the center, that doesn’t take away from the elements along the path. It is all about perspective.
