I create in order to investigate the ways hierarchy informs and corrupts our world, both ecologically and in our interpersonal relationships. This exploration takes place through my interest in the materiality of the matter and energy that constitute my work. Through invoking ideas of destruction as transformation and ephemerality my investigations culminate in sculptures and installations that combine both urgency and a deep sense of care for our future. 

Notions of l’informe(formlessness) guide my choices of material, opting for objects that hold the passage of time and the marks of their formative environments. I have an affinity for the discarded; trash, industrial scrap, detritus of the modern world. I combine the raw physical material of reclaimed pallet boards, cinder blocks, architectural metal, and other reclaimed objects, with techniques such as projection, field recording, and modular synthesis.  I work with the object's materiality to transmit the memories stored inside of them, just as we store memories in our bodies, and connect them to the hierarchies I am deconstructing. 

My process is influenced by my preference to get down and dirty, while dipping my toes into the world of new media. I prefer anachronistic physical methods such as hammering nails, hand sawing, and stitching that allow my body to feel connected to the material. These labor intensive processes also allow the work to maintain its connection to the corporeal plane when incorporating more abstract digital technologies. The repetition of these tasks allow me to meditate on the ways capitalism asserts its forces, through useless destructive labor, both physically and transcendentally, as well as the physical body of this planet.  I intentionally retain the evidence of construction visible to keep the work honest, in opposition to the opaque ways hierarchies tend to function and deceive in society.
