Artist Statement

 I use the visual language of architecture and the literal physicality of building materials to create collaged drawings and site-specific installations. I am interested in transitional spaces and the homogenization of place in addition to pushing and playing with the boundaries of drawing, sculpture, and installation. I use formal gestures of erasing, overlapping, layering, stacking, leaning, and cutting, and saddle them with the task of depicting our compromised narratives within our built environments.
