ARTIST STATEMENT
I am fascinated by the development of structure. With my work, I look to interpret structure and the space it inhabits through physical and emotional layers. My use of color, space, angles and movement are all meant to trigger some amount of discomfort towards our built spaces. By presenting incomplete junctions of materials juxtaposed with recognizable structural elements, this work is a reminder of the lack of permanence that exists within our constructed realities.
