The sculptures were created towards the end of my thesis and after. This body of work is comprised of found furniture and fractured objects from the city streets of Baltimore. The level of decay evident in each object dictates the extent to which I formally intervene to develop sculptures, paintings, and hybridized three dimensional works of art. Methodically exploring degrading structures, bolstering support mechanisms, and considering elements of weight mass, volume, color, and texture of an object drives the aesthetic reflection in my studio practice.

Present in each object are vocabularies derived from painting, sculpture, and digital media that I have become familiar with through the pluralistic study of contemporary art. Working with the detritus of a working class city, I am able to reconcile and explore the contradictions inherent in the class difference in the associative properties of varying kinds of urban industrial waste and material media indexical to fine art.

I was invited to leave a temporary installation at This Red Door earlier this year. I made use of the leftovers from Christmas decoration outside the gallery & materials in the gallery space.

This body of work was created for a duo show at Subbasement Artist Studio that featured my work along side fellow artist Rodrigo Carazas Portal. My sculptures were made from deconstructed couches and other detritus found around Baltimore City.
