Statement
My work involves transforming objects and moments of everyday life into something new and strange through meticulous craftsmanship and unexpected scale and presentation. Through my art, I raise questions about our relationship with and dependence on the natural world while pointing to the shifting and arbitrary categories of art, life, nature, and culture. I’m interested in how objects can communicate in ways that words cannot and help us feel and see the contradictions in our habitual ways of thinking and being.
