Consolidation

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.

Cast Offs

These small objects were produced as a rumination on the lives of materials, prompted by the artists' attempt to understand and reconcile the disparate frames of time in which objects and our experiences with them exist. The convenience-driven plastics that pass through our lives – though some facilitate levels of technology, sanitation, and hygiene that radically improve our lives – might be touched only once, but may persist in the world for hundreds of years.

WHAT RESONATES Solo Exhibition: Gallery Blue Door June 29 - August 3, 2109

Throughout my career as an artist I have been fascinated by what resonates from a place: what I feel while there, what I remember when I leave and what stays with me as time passes, and how to translate that through my art.  Sometimes, it is the overwhelming sensations of how a place looks visually- the colors, textures, patterns, the time of day, the quality of light. However, often it is not how a place looks specifically but- that undefinable quality that makes a place stay with you or resonate.

Marine Microcosmos (2020)

"Marine Microcosmos" is a series of paintings of microorganisms that are found in water, particularly in the oceans. A vast world of near-invisible microscopic organisms is responsible for making the Earth habitable for creatures like us. They provide our oxygen, store CO2 away from our atmosphere, feed the organisms which ultimately provide us sustenance, and so much more. By learning about them and creating paintings based on what I learn, I hope to bring to light these important allies which are all too easy to overlook. 

Human Objects: Reclaiming Objectification

Artist Statement: 

Boundaries blur and body parts morph into one another. I simply cannot be disconnected from my queerness and my body, my body and how I move across the plane, and yet I aspire to transmute my physical form. I am a gaseous ball of stardust having a human experience without a gender, and yet how gender is navigated remains a big part of my life. How I see myself and how the world sees me sometimes differs-- it all forms into a monstrosity of persepctives, opinions and diagnoses. 

Square Calendar #2 (2020) + Square Calendar #1 (2016)

Squares are ubiquitous in the built environment. Examples are all around us. In fact, the screen you’re looking at right now is composed of tiny square units called pixels, from “pic-el” or “picture element.” Earlier this year, a controversial new aerial surveillance plane (or “spy plane”) began flying over Baltimore to gather data from above as part of an experimental approach to police work.
