My work is influenced by social uprising and activism I witnessed growing up. Seeing first hand the tension between that which oppresses and that which resists. I explore the causes and consequences of unjust systems, imagining what exists beyond them. Creating sculptures, books, drawings and installations. I use a variety of materials and processes including paper, fibers, video, and writing in my practice. Through scale, especially height, I involve the body in conversation with my work, prompting scrutiny of our personal relationships to the tools of political and economic disenfranchisement, such as policing, exploitation of labor, and land theft.

The physical form of authoritarianism is what drives my investigation into chain link fences- a ubiquitous structure that not only obstructs but communicates. Defining where we can and can't go and what is valued in our society. By recreating these fences in fragile materials like thread and paper, I am able to subvert their intended function, revealing them as vulnerable objects. By illustrating them in a grid, I represent them as a pattern then disrupt the pattern to defy or contextualize with more clearly violent methods of control. These gestures reflect my broader commitment to a just world because art is the way I dissent the prioritization of profit and property over the sanctity of life.
