My interdisciplinary practice encompasses insight on death, healing, posthumanism, and consciousness by combining anthropological research, fieldwork, and personal narrative with the use of sculpture, mixed media, performance, and installation.
I am particularly interested in trauma, as an agent to the otherworld, and liminal spaces of unresolved, and in-between. I am on one hand, drawing from my personal encounters with trauma, and on the other hand, speaking to larger cultural and historical traumas, contemporaneously happening, connected to an object and its shadow when placed under light.
When the person closest to my heart passed away I learned how to accept and heal from the trauma of discovering his lifeless body through making. Trauma can often be difficult to talk about and express, the practice of art allowed me to express those ideas in a way that was helpful to my process of grief. I see the practice of art as a significant form of academic and personal expression. I feel very strongly about bridging and connecting various forms of disciplines
