I am an interdisciplinary artist. I make mixed media portraits, sculptures and installations that are composed of building materials and domestic items. Multilayered concepts relating to identity and social constructs are presented through a variety of artistic mediums and processes. Ascribing to the visual context of home as well as the ethos of homemade, I paint, build, carve and chip away at plywood, drywall and paper. I vacillate between tearing apart and tenderly memorializing my personal family experience while raising questions and sparking dialogue related to our broader community.
