Statement

My work explores themes such as personal afflictions, social expectations and loss. Using different types of materials including acrylic plastics, wood, fabric and found objects, I aim to portray these concepts in colorful and delicate ways. I intend to engage the audience with the use of colors and/or light without making the piece initially emotional or direct in relation to the concept. The use of hard edges and geometric forms is prevalent in my work, but is many times juxtaposed with organic, soft, or delicate forms. Audience engagement with my pieces involves further investigation of the works in order to understand the ideas behind them.
