Artist Statement

My practice is filled with large-scale sculptures, architectural installations and provocative works which confront trauma, particularly childhood trauma, through a sublimation of my rage. In making, I position myself in a pas-de-deux. I approach you, looking right at you, looking over you - exposing myself inexorably in front of you. I expose myself relentlessly, laying bare the vulnerabilities and violences of my past.  Through the concept of “leaky bodies”—marked by fabricated, violated, or controlled openings - I examine how trauma inscribes itself on the other. My victimhood is powerful and taunting, resisting spectacle while forcing a visceral recognition.

I regale the unspoken. Fabricating from the place of the child, where size and language are distorted, and where the unseemly often overpowers the capacity to articulate. My work occupies a space of tension: between protection and exposure, humor and horror, silence and confrontation. Trauma, sublimated into form, becomes something to wield. It becomes a tool, a language, a choreography of confrontation. My practice insists on a reckoning - forcing viewers to recognize not only what has happened, but also what endures, what infiltrates, and what cannot be fully contained.
