Artist Statement 

Sculpture can change our way of looking at tangible objects and generate alternate forms of commentary and social critique. While I acknowledge that all objects could be considered art under certain circumstances, I am more interested in manipulating materials to create new sculptural forms. These new forms speak a visual and aesthetic language that can challenge the limitations of words. In my work as a sculptor, I incorporate humor and satire to transform both traditional and non-traditional materials such as plaster, hair, and liquid latex. Through this process I can create new objects that directly defy any stereotypes and expectations imposed upon them. Perhaps my work will evoke both repulsion, and also a lingering and uncanny beauty.
