Artist Statement

My work explores materiality, gesture, and the physicality of the body. I create abstract paintings and ceramic sculptures that reflect movement, transformation, and impermanence. My paintings are built through a layered process of transferring acrylic paint skins, pouring, and collaging, while my ceramic sculptures take on organic, bodily forms that reference postures like twisting, leaning, or folding.

A core part of my practice is the relationship between the body and material. Whether it’s the direct impression of my hand in clay or the way paint moves across a surface through full-body gestures, my work is a record of process and physical interaction. Lately, I’ve been incorporating silicone body molds, inspired by my own experience of pregnancy and postpartum transformation, as a way of documenting change over time.

 I want my work to feel alive—like it’s in a state of flux, always on the edge of becoming something else. I want people to feel a sense of physicality when they experience my work. The scale, textures, and colors are all meant to engage the senses—to feel almost bodily in their presence. Whether it’s the weight and density of ceramics or the fluid, layered surfaces of my paintings, I want viewers to connect with the work on a visceral level. There’s an element of play and pleasure in the way I work with material, and I hope that comes through in how the pieces are experienced.
