About

I believe art is a powerful tool for transcending human struggle. I strive to create work that has the ability to inspire, uplift and provide stimulating platforms for exchange. An artist at heart with keen spatial design awareness and a scientific mind, I thrive in interdisciplinary ventures. Recent works are situated at the crossroads of art and science, particularly related to the nature/culture relationship. At the core of what I try to instigate is environmental consciousness and social integration. I am currently focused on large-scale modular structures that are versatile, innovative and inclusive.

I seek an aesthetic of spare elegance that is bold and uncluttered, multi-dimensional yet focused. Fascinated with color, light, form and texture, I design each of my works around carefully chosen formal elements. Sustainability is very important to my practice, so I often work with local “excess” materials. The majority of my work is site-based and rooted in social practice, motivated by a desire to immerse myself in diverse cultures and produce work that is relevant to its specific context. Invested in the dialogue between art and life, as well as the interaction between art/space/viewer, my work often appears in unconventional spaces such as urban, industrial and natural settings. 

With a heightened awareness of human behavior and the interconnectedness between living and non-living matter, I create work that can be experienced, touched, eaten, worn or inhabited. In doing so, I am interested in triggering sensorial and neurological reactions in the observer/participant, tapping into memory, sensuality, the subconscious and the imaginary. These various interests converge to create objects, environments and situations where the body relates to the external world in unexpected ways; where beauty, surprise and discovery generate pleasure and appreciation for life.
