I am a queer interdisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses sculpture and installation; exploring themes of connectivity, the surreal nature of societal human experiences, and our collective relationship with trash systems. I create almost exclusively with repurposed found materials and discarded objects. Over the past few years, I have developed my own supply chain of sculpture materials.
Trash, to me, represents the most accurate reflection of our culture—a narrative untouched by self-mythologizing. Just as archaeologists study garbage to understand past societies, I believe our present-day refuse offers invaluable insights. Through my art, I aim to showcase and distort this refuse, creating tiny ruptures in our unprecedented waste cycle.
My passion for making art accessible to all drives me to install works in unexpected public spaces, bringing art to diverse audiences and sparking conversations in everyday environments. I foster artistic communities through workshops and collaborative projects, believing that the creative process is an overpass that connects people and enriches the human experience. Through these efforts, I aim to cultivate a sense of collective responsibility and inspire a deeper understanding of our impact on the natural world.
