Artist Statement

I am a mixed media sculpture artist, however much of my work is focused in and around
glass. Invoking my experience as a glassworker, I let the medium inform my work as I
explore different materials and processes. Through unsettling imagery and use of material I
create installations that express the human experiences of pain, memory, and healing. The
body, both human and material, are used in my work to communicate the rawness of
breaking and fragmentation. Both uncomfortable and playful, my sculptures address what
it means to exist in a state where to forget and fall apart are always going to be evident.
Taking inspiration from my own personal experiences and childhood, I create sculptural
and installation-based work that delves into topics of hurt, healing, and the body.
