Artists Statment

My work explores the intersection of form, transformation, and the materials we use to shape our world. As a sculptor, I focus on the tactile, three-dimensional nature of objects, working primarily with plaster, clay, and mixed media to create pieces that engage with both organic and industrial forms. My background in the natural and social sciences informs my practice, allowing me to explore systems, structures, and the ways they influence the objects we create and interact with. I am particularly interested in mold-making, using it as a way to capture moments of transformation and repetition. Through my work, I aim to create pieces that reflect the delicate balance between fragility and permanence, inviting viewers to consider the transient nature of materials and the lasting impact of their forms.
