ARTIST STATEMENT

My interdisciplinary practice positions art as both catalyst and research apparatus for investigating social cohesion and collective meaning-making. Working across sculpture, painting, and participatory engagement, I create mobile sculptural devices and  cumulative mixed-media works that function as experimental frameworks—methodologies for rigorous observation of how communities form and strengthen through shared ritual and collective inquiry.

Each investigation in my practice generates interconnected bodies of work—mobile sculptures employing ritual and quasi-scientific devices, layered drawings, paintings, and collected community data—exhibited together in a choose-your-own-adventure format, where viewers construct their own narrative pathways through the research findings. A recurring personal iconography functions as visual shorthand, allowing complex ideas about sociology, spirituality, science, energy, and transformation to deepen across multiple projects, locations, and communities.
