Artist Statement

My current body of work deals with queer relationships, identity, and moments of intimacy and sensuality. I do this by portraying the queer figure with plant motifs, high-status objects, and iconography pulled from domestic spaces in American suburbia. I make my work through multiple artistic disciplines such as slip-casting and underglaze painting on porcelain, sculpting with earthenware, wood, and found-object sculpture. The iconography in my work symbolizes resilience and growth within spaces of oppression and reclaims these spaces for marginalized queer identities.
