ARTIST STATEMENT

My thesis focuses on building immersive installation spaces that explore ideas of risk, play, and their blurred boundaries. Through these explorations, chaotic spaces are formed by drawing in space with three-dimensional compositional elements.

I am fascinated by the misuse and misunderstanding of the definitions of risk and hazard. Materials and spaces that show the passage of time and the history of a person's successes, failures, and explorations are my greatest inspiration. When examining these details, you gain empathy for a particular person, place, or thing and learn to connect beyond to the world beyond the surface level. 

My installations reveal my vulnerability to the viewer and moments of success.

I continue to refine my technical academic drawing and painting skills and my ceramic work in both refined thrown and hand-built forms.
