Artist Statement: My practice is motivated by the politics of noticing and material experimentation. My work spans mediums to hover in the spaces in-between—the physical and conceptual thresholds where one state transitions into another.
My body of work investigates how we experience gaps and disconnections in our surroundings, bringing visibility to what typically goes unnoticed. I am drawn to the visual evidence of decay, disrepair, the overlap of industrial structures over domestic spaces, and the friction between digital technology and the handmade.
These thresholds create moments when realities cross and layer, confounding immediate meaning. It is within this friction—a material failure, a visual rupture, or the suspended beat just before or after a physical shift—that a pause is created.
I explore this tension across both flat and immersive spaces. In my two-dimensional practice, I utilize precision tools across photography, digital media, and hyper-realistic drawing to meticulously layer conflicting realities. By actively collaging these elements—entirely free of generative AI—I isolate and freeze a specific visual disjuncture.
In my three-dimensional work, I capture this friction physically by integrating precision digital tools, such as CAD and rapid prototyping, with the unpredictable, deeply tactile nature of found materials, wood, metal, and ceramics. Rather than creating static objects, I build environments that ask the audience to walk through, physically join the work, and step directly into these spaces in-between.
