In my recent practice i am exploring landscape, existential thought, and possible connections between the south and the west paradigms. Through sculpture, installation, drawing, photography, and video, I gather and reinterpret narratives and belief systems, translating them into material and spatial forms. I often work with found and discarded objects, which, when placed in relation to other materials, create a dialogue between shared meanings and personal experience.
