In my practice I explore the contradictions, resilience, and improvised solutions that inform human experience. Working with found and constructed materials, I create sculptures and drawings that evoke the vernacular of everyday life and reflect themes of contingency, loss, and adaptation. A language of gesture and associative thinking guides the work, allowing materials to speak in intuitive, layered, and open-ended ways.
I often draw inspiration from the environments I inhabit, particularly Ridgewood, Queens, where the intersection of community and physical space informs much of my work. I also direct 325 Project Space, an exhibition and event venue, where I examine how material culture and shared dialogue shape collective experience.
Trained as a social worker, I worked with families in community and domestic settings often under dire circumstances. That background continues to influence my approach to trust, listening, and social context within my overall practice.
While my work has been largely object-based, I’m increasingly drawn to forms of engagement that unfold in public and social spaces, including walking, conversation, and everyday rituals. My work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at institutions including The Drawing Center, White Columns, Artists Space, the Brooklyn Museum, and The Queens Museum of Art.
