Artist Statement

My work has always been about material and space, and creating a narrative that lives within that space. I get excited about creating concepts that have a greater conversation than just the work itself, and strive to pour all my energy into what I do. I have been working on a series of works that focus primarily on a conversation about mental health, and how our environments and online presences can strongly impact how we view ourselves. I want to break away from the normal observational practices my skills were forged in to create works that incorporate influences from online imagery and present a different head-space for viewers to live in.
