My practice is lead by intuition and perplexity. Working primarily with sculpture, I am concerned with how matter, gesture, and process unearth meaning. Typically, found objects enter my studio and are extended through casting, assemblage, and display. The resulting work is often held in a balance between the ephemeral and the permanent, embodying the tension between a view of art as aesthetic or object-bound, and that of art as concept or idea.
