Molds—historically used to as voids—transform their behavior to an engaged cast within my practice. These studio-artifacts generated within my practice which were once valuable parts in the context of one process no longer holds the same ideas, function, nor value once they are removed from its process of origin. I celebrate these autonomous outcasts through the act of casting; which for me is an act of acknowledging and regenerating individual, marginalized and overseen history and its disappearance by preserving meaningful parts. These parts further thrive and create autonomous history by being exhaustedly performed in repetition to create layers that grow in volumes, masses, spaces, and therefore individual narrative; becoming ambiguous yet representational exaggerations of self.

Therefore my work is an active research of building extractive forms, furthermore a nonlinear narrative study that develops dimensions, fragility, and aggregation through hand-made processes. My object-sculptures, often presented in/as series, become evidence of a system which adopts deconstruction, reconstruction, and failure as a parallel model to success. I (re)create forms by making molds and casting studio-artifacts such as fragmented molds or exaggerated abstractions of the same. In this continuous form-finding I tend to build relationships between new origins, thoughts, and contradictions while proposing a methodology that enjoys invention in transition and translation.
