Biography

My sculptures are active sites of growth and decay—tulips bloom from stretching tendrils, ceramic bodies leak milky fluids, spine-shaped candles burn and diffuse scent. I coat amorphously carved figurative forms with pigmented concrete, fiberglass, wax, and resin. Some of these bodies are fragmented into multiple parts and spread across space; others are missing limbs and heads entirely.

I punctuate these alien forms with live and fake flowers, medical ephemera, rubber tubing, and fountain pumps that circulate liquids through the sculptures. Combining shape-shifting forms with these objects, my sculptures reenact the fluctuations we experience within our physical and physiological selves.
