Artist Statement

I am interested in examining the unintentional contradictions that exist in navigating race and cultural identity. Combining sculpture, drawing, and conceptual practices, I seek to investigate history, form and chance; with every day non-precious materials, text, xerox and paper cutting. Ideas are sourced from my personal interactions and memory, ones that are charged, surprising and at times odd. Pieces can co-exist as both 2D and 3D, sharp materials that are equally as soft, and conversations that can both  compliment and hurt at the same time. This information is diluted, interpreted, repeated and reinterpreted for a new narrative.
