Traversing between the conscious and unconscious, I gather materials or objects to take into my studio. I then contemplate the item’s function, meaning within society, life, and how those things relate to theories I may be thinking about at the time.

Phenomenology, physiology, and the emotional relationships our body has with objects are areas of research that help inform my practice and deepen my thinking. From a scientific point of view, I am studying how something outside the body can cause internal sensations that lead to cognition and result in action or belief.

Through a reciprocal relationship with materials and an acute sensitivity to my own internal world, my art is created.
