About

My work grows through experimentation, invention, and a willingness to let things go wrong. Familiar forms become strange, and imagined worlds take on a physical life of their own. I build, dismantle, distort, and reassemble, allowing materials, images, and ideas to collide. The results can be awkward, unruly, humorous, and unsettling.
