STATEMENT
I am an interdisciplinary artist from New Jersey, currently based in Tampa. I work with a material immediacy that is apparent in my collages, as my inspiration is largely drawn from materials themselves. Using sculpture, collage, and assemblage, my work explores bodies, figurative and literal consumption, value, memory, authentic interaction, and transitional states.
