I’d describe my style as…
Materials-based, process-driven, handcrafted, intuitive.

My signature technique and where it comes from…
Everything I make is born out of some form of collage or assemblage of particular objects. I like the act of constructing something new through a process that builds and destroys at once — where the addition of one layer can then subtract what’s underneath. Each mark or maneuver dictates the very next step, so the process of making something is always very much in the moment.

My preferred medium…
I have always been drawn to found, recycled objects, items of little to no inherent value, the ephemera that comes and goes throughout the day. I respond to an object’s history of use, the strange energy within a discarded thing that’s lost its intended purpose. For me, the starting point of any artwork always exists within the material and it is my job to just pay attention and allow for the material to guide the process.

Favorite color combinations…
Pink and yellow are always vaguely uncomfortable together (in a good way) and shades of orange and blue can give a good jolt.
