"Throughout my work I tend to create within the thought process of identity and navigation. I am intrigued by the navigation of deeper connections through creating, observing, and listening. Continuing on I prioritize nonverbal conversation within myself and the viewer to visualize a space to consider different contexts. Often I find myself fixated in the complexity of the mundane, and what we don't necessarily see in everyday life. The act of attempting to materialize and reflect this liminality of everyday patterns in time and space can also be present in my artwork. With all of these things in mind my materials fluctuate in correlation with my thought process."
