I am a sculptor based in New York City. I studied Fine Arts at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and have completed my BFA at Parsons School of Design. My practice centers on sculpture as a form of storytelling, grounded in material sensitivity and emotional resonance.
Rooted in my upbringing in North Carolina, my work reflects a lifelong physical and emotional closeness to nature. I work primarily with metal and wood, often incorporating natural materials drawn from my immediate environment, including oatmeal, coconut, soil, and dirt. This material approach allows each piece to remain responsive to place, embedding the conditions of its making directly into the work.
More recently, my work begins with a question that feels both impossible and necessary: what does it mean to measure a space that cannot be fully known? Working through grid systems, mapping structures, and satellite-like forms, I construct objects that attempt to define boundaries, only to reveal their instability. These works do not resolve space but activate it, asking when something becomes present simply because it has been framed.
I am interested in how systems operate as tools that translate complexity into something legible, often at the cost of accuracy. My sculptures sit within the tension between order and excess, mimicking instruments such as antennas, processors, and structural frames, yet refusing to produce stable or useful data. While these structures suggest control and organization, they cannot fully contain the spaces they attempt to define. Something always escapes.
By blurring distinctions between humans, animals, and natural forms, I create sculptural landscapes that evoke both a sense of loss and the inevitability of return. My work ultimately explores the limits of perception, the instability of systems, and the quiet resistance of forms that refuse to be fully known or contained.
