Utilizing ceramics, discarded objects, and construction materials to make works, my art practice  attempts to find connections between craft, escapism, and emotional awareness. It is an  investigation of fantasy and formal aesthetics with consideration to how those perspectives and  acts may relate to privilege and trauma. Through the development of research, drawings, and  sculptures, my works reference geomythology, as well as sci-fi and fantasy settings, spaces,  figures, and imagery.
