STATEMENT
Storytelling, play, and careful attention are central to my work. My furniture, sculptures, and drawings tell stories that move between personal narrative and shared experience, intertwining truth with imagination. While making this work, I am searching for balance: balance between spontaneity and careful deliberation, between vulnerability and mystery, between thrill and tranquility. Through cutting, carving, gluing, sketching, and painting, I move toward this harmony I’m seeking while placing memories and sentiments in an intricately constructed, idyllic world.
