I'm uncomfortable in this life; I create to understand. My work serves as a window into our collective existence as individuals while embodying varying identities and being a part of various communities. Creating faint reflections of viewers looking inward, emphasizing fragments of our shared realities and feelings. Reminiscent of the surfaces I work on, I intertwine my lived experiences, essential aspects of my identity, and my feelings towards these elements of life tightly together into an elusive dreamscape that crosses interpersonal boundaries.

Employing multiple processes that connect fiber, painting, sculpture and installation allows me to transgress the nature of my work. Using unconventional materials including: hand dyed vinyl, mylar, bubble wrap, and colored gel sheets allows me to paint in an expanded field. The vinyl fabric comes clear, I'm able to heat the fabric in the dye bath to capture color using a synthetic dye. I more recently have made the dye into pastes that can be hand painted on synthetic materials. Once the paste is applied I'm able to add heat to set the color and work multiple layers into clear surfaces. I find that working through an interdisciplinary lens I can speak about the confines of my life. Especially in terms of being queer and placing these figures in imagery spaces or voids that do not feel within the reach of reality. Working in various methodologies allows me to understand that an alternate, more provocative, transparent version of myself walks through my work. This version of myself explores the visual dream, which holds space for conversation on gender, personal relationships, sexuality, spirituality, and deep-seated emotions.
