Material and its potential for manipulation is very important to my current practice. I muse, ideate, and resolve through making. Painting, drawing, printing, collaging, and installing enable me to record observed nuances, pay attention to overlooked and misunderstood detritus, and find humor and novelty in the everyday. 

​

Monuments to Something is from an ongoing body of work called "Cemetery as Art Installation" where I seek to elevate the cemetery's visual novelty and critique how the cemetery functions as sculpture, performance, forgotten identity, permanence, persistent racism, and absurdity. Though beautiful, the historic grounds where I work are typically overlooked, ignored, and even avoided, much like the forgotten tombstones that occupy it. Centuries of erosion represent time and entropy at work.
