Artist Statement

My work begins with the questions that surface in the gaps and thresholds of civic and communal life—where belonging shifts, where access is granted or denied, and where invitations are extended or withheld. I’m drawn to what is hidden or overlooked, and to the systems—social, civic, emotional, spatial—that shape our collective experience.

My interdisciplinary practice includes drawing, installation, performance, text, video, photography, and socially engaged forms unfolding in both field and institutional settings. I gravitate toward essence over precision, using sketches, diagrams, mind maps, lists, and hand-drawn structures to think through projects, relationships, decisions, and the evolving questions that guide my practice.

Across media, I create encounters that prompt people to notice, reflect, reorient, and reconsider their relationship to the spaces and communities around them. Humor, play, humility, and warmth are central, even as the subjects are serious. Ultimately, my work invites individuals, communities, and decision-makers to notice systems with clarity and possibility—and to imagine what might come next.
