My practice is multidisciplinary and conceptually focused, encompassing video, animation, installation, sculpture and performance. Personal narrative and life experience is rooted within each project. The work pulls from routines and social norms, sometimes reinventing rituals and reworking narratives with humor and spectacle. Visually diverse and often experiential, most artworks peer into an imaginary multiverse of possibility through prompts, reframing and experimentation. Use of materials and processes varies and includes electronic components, foam sculpting, altering found objects, casting and molding.
