Bio
I am a Los Angeles based sculptor working in various multimedia forms. My body of work explores materials and organic shapes. through research and experimentation, I create a mix of blown or fused glass, stone, clay, sand, cement, hemp, eggshells, recycled paper, and metal. each piece reflects my dedication to understanding and transforming raw materials into expressive, dynamic forms.
Artist statement
This series explores the rapid yet profound connections made through messages exchanged across seas. Inspired by words from friends, these pieces confront the deep interactions that occur in long-distance relationships. Our digital world enables us to maintain vital connections with those physically far away. By sculpting these moments into physical art, “bas relief” honors and celebrates the words and connections that have profoundly impacted and shaped my life.
