Artist Statement

The foundation of my work employs objects that will lead the viewer to a moment of self- reflection of their impact on the natural world. The issues of global warming and sustainability are made visible in my work. Our individual carbon footprint is more significant everyday, as we are facing a world of negative environmental concerns. Understanding these impacts will help us in balancing our daily choices to progress in creating a more eco-friendly world. Inspirations for my work include natural, industrial, and technological advancement’s that are both helping and hindering our environment, as well as material and object identity and the associations that those visuals transmit. These objects focus on relationships of intersection, structure, and interaction between the environment and its material. Using investigation and different processes, I push the limits of the material and abstraction to achieve new surrealistic imagery.
