I am an interdisciplinary artist - my work is driven by my ideas, feelings, and experiences and the materials/processes follow. I spent much of my life studying and practicing every medium accessible to me, even branching out into music as a vocalist in hardcore bands which grew into developing a solo project and learning Ableton.

​

For the longest time, I was making hyper-detailed drawings to cope with trauma, it served as a meditative placeholder to take up time as I processed and dealt with emotional burdens. Around this time I also started making extremely intricate laser cut sculptures that eventually became iridescent mobiles. The five fold rotational based patterning in these works is inspired by Penrose tiling present in Islamic shrines, sacred geometry present in both science as well as worldwide cultures and religions, and universal fractals found throughout nature. The complexity of this type of pattern makes it difficult to discern the pattern's beginnings and ends; this creates an overwhelming sense of seamless, boundless expanse of incomprehensible natural order, much like the fractals and persisting patterns so effortlessly ingrained in the natural world around us. Patterning permeates everything that makes up our lineages, personalities, behaviors, and thusly interpersonal and cultural dynamics. The whole bodily shape of each patterned-covered sculpture is crystalline - crystals' microscopic building blocks form patterns - even the simple cubes call to this in the shape that salt crystallizes. I etch patterns on the surfaces of each crystal shape in order to illustrate these relationships between patterns of natural order at various scales. The mobiles are a more playful expression that turns what we see as children into something new and transformed that reflects sunlight into rainbows in dancing patterns around their environments.

 

My hyper-detailed hair drawings are time-intensive processes that have allowed me to meditate on events and emotions as I worked through them. They also touch on fractals as the natural patterns investigated inherently portray these qualities when viewed at differing scales.

 

My biggest focus now is working to create a beautiful life and documenting these moments as the blessings they are. This leads me to use cameras, as I have since adolescence, capturing candid moments of natural life...only now I am choosing to share these slice of life as part of my work - so I have added a photography section to this website and will continue to develop this as I learn and grow.
