My practice in its entirety follows personal experience as it relates to the world around me. I like to look at my surrounding environment and produce work that reflects my own connections to its ever-changing state. It is a representation of how my minds eye sees change in the world and how the world’s changing state affects my soul.

I am deeply moved and inspired by ancient history, their artwork and culture, and the vibrance that it seems to hold. I also look towards human culture as it relates to the natural world or how it seems to stray away from it. I find beaty in the archaic, the primal, and the beastly as forms of pure human emotional expression. I see this correlation often with the fast and bold nature of modern graffiti art.  

Reality, as I live it, constantly moves and shifts under these contexts. I like to work as a conduit of change and transformation through clay. oftentimes my hunches and intuitive process of making and exploring lead me to places that are otherworldly and abstracted.

To myself the work I do reflects the many experiences I have had in feeling the changes that surround my world. And the burdens and scars that come from knowing that nothing is permanent. even my own work I see as monuments set to fall one day after I am gone. But it is in this very fact I find comfort in creating and comfort in knowing that I too will change.
