Artist Statement:
My work focuses on taking societal insecurities-- the obscure, perceived ugliness, chaos-- and transforming them into harmonized concepts through design and emotional worth.
By means of found objects combined with traditional media, I strive to create works that are unconventional and that are tied to said insecurities; perhaps giving the viewer an unexpected and deep response.
I place great importance on visual elements, and find it necessary for my work to have interactive components; either in movement, or function, which may be physical or emotional.
