about
I have had a relentless and intimate love of objects since before I can remember: biting and chewing things that ought not go in one’s mouth, creating perfectly curated stuffed animal nests each night before bedtime, and collecting miscellaneous mushy things in my special, buttery-yellow box. My behaviors and relationships with the tangible world—whether manufactured or naturally occurring creatures and things—have been a foundational aspect of how I navigate this often upending life.
Most of the art objects I make are encouraged to be physically touched or otherwise interacted with, facilitating opportunities for momentary groundedness. My hope is that through squishing, holding, tugging, or hugging, people may cherish the humor and novelty of contact with little peculiarities. Using subtractive and additive craft processes, such as wood and foam carving, polymer clay, and silicone, I digest and reassemble my internal processing of the confusing, absurd, and impalpable into literal beings to be shared and mused upon.
