I am a video and sculpture artist interested in the way we as humans favor the new over the old. Working with abandoned spaces and discarded objects, I create work that showcases their worth. Hundreds of cigarette butts stitched together, every condemned building in a small town catalogued through video, hubcap bolts fused with brass to create a wearable piece. These immersive environments exist for the audience to be a part of, to bring to the forefront remnants of human touch and labor, or what we leave behind and forget about. To make work that invites the viewer into a space that calls attention to these actions that often go ignored. To inspire them to think about how they respond to their environment and the spaces they inhabit.
