Artist’s Statement

My practice, situated between New York City and the Hudson River Valley, encompasses sculptural construction and digital photographic manipulation. Working primarily with found and industrial materials—including structural steel—I treat my studio as a site of inquiry into the ways objects, images, and systems accrue meaning. Across several ongoing bodies of work, I explore how materiality, perception, and cultural narrative intersect and destabilize one another.

This sculptural work considers the precarious equilibrium between geometric precision and organic improvisation, between the density of industrial matter and the illusion of suspended weightlessness. Inflected by the language of assemblage, my process embraces indeterminacy: forms emerge through an interplay of improvisation, accident, and the inherent agency of the materials themselves.

I am drawn to the sensation of encountering an object that appears untouched, uncurated—as if discovered rather than made. This condition gestures toward the latent power of the found object: its capacity to feel both accidental and inevitable. In these works, fragility becomes a structural principle. The sculptures foreground the interdependence of discrete elements, echoing the delicate relational systems—human, environmental, and symbolic—that shape our world and are continually at risk of rupture.
