My sculptural practice brings internal, often unspoken experiences into physical form. I am drawn to the subtle, instinctive ways in which people navigate the world through empathy, curiosity, fear and courage, withholding and connection. While these methods of navigation are universal, I approach the subject as a woman and thus am deeply aware of how certain forms of expression are often dismissed or devalued. My sculptures aim to reclaim these often overlooked elements of personhood and recontextualize them, elevating them in the process.

My practice is heavily informed by the six years I spent working in special practical effects where I specialized in creature fabrication and anatomical realism. It often begins with castings of my own body or the bodies of my loved ones. In this way, each of my pieces truly holds a part of me. This keeps me honest in my work.

Recurring motifs of hands and teeth appear in bronze-toned finishes that reference historical objects of reverence. I combine these bronze forms with viscerally realistic additions to create surreal, dreamlike imagery. The goal of my art is to take inherent human experiences like friendship, desire, depression, and growing up and pull them out of the body.

These are things we know by heart. We feel them long before we have names for them. They exist in our bodies like our lungs or our blood. By presenting them in this jarring manner, I invite viewers to slow down and engage with their instinctive responses. Notice the feeling like you notice your breath. I want to offer space to reflect on the ways these innate experiences persist even as the world around us grows louder and more fragmented. As human beings they are part of us all.
