STATEMENT:
I use my practice as a reflection of my environment and self while commenting on socio economic statuses through medium selection. I execute my pieces using found woods, metals, papers, and fabrics alongside employing traditional art materials as transformative tools for my mediums. I approach my constructions and collages with the bias and sensibilities of a painter and consider my work, regardless of category, to be parallel with or itself painting. Aesthetically my intentions are to create abstract compositions that are attentively idiosyncratic but not arbitrary and cling to the wall classically like paintings. I aim to dismantle capitalist ideals, embrace a lack of finesse through basic assembly and attack anti-intellectualism through non objective means. Exploring connection to the home and housing market are also important themes in my work. The art itself is an organism that is birthed through working class American financial circumstance; I've found at times this intimate economical broadcasting speaks truer than aesthetics can.
