Artist Statement
In my practice I embrace an eclectic array of mediums to bring my visions to fruition; avant garde fashion, Arduino, sound art, large installation work, and digital media works made of recycled materials and found objects are my magic. I aim to create an experience for my viewer by inviting them to interact with installations in order to truly feel their power. I have found collaborative projects to be the most fulfilling as I can bring my vision to life by directly exploring what I want to convey. My works explore interpersonal human relationships as we are forced to evolve in our modern technological world. A unifying theme across my creative history is the prominence of headpieces, as I am often questioning the connections between ones mind and body by looking at the brain and the subjective headspace.
