Present Tense

I work in a project-based way, following ideas as they develop through making rather than deciding in advance what they mean. Different bodies of work run alongside one another—some linger for years, some appear briefly, some return changed.

​

I move between functional objects, installations, performance, painting, and sculpture without hierarchy, allowing usefulness, absurdity, ritual, and failure to coexist. Materials are chosen for their resistance as much as their familiarity; clay, fire, metal, wood, paint, and scale all push back in different ways, shaping the work as it unfolds.

​

The studio functions like a diary: a place to register lived experience, attention, and uncertainty through form. Meaning is not fixed at the outset but accumulates through repetition, contradiction, and context. I value curiosity over resolution and remain open to not knowing what a work will become until it enters the world.
