“I frequently work within a thematic series that deals with how living things adapt and thrive in atmospheres of annihilation. Using sculpture, film and drawing I try to invoke a transformative methodology that examines American ideologies around the black body. These alternative spaces/artworks are inspired by historical and scientific methods where I can merge reality and possibility. My works embody the past and present, memory and story. They contain elements of science, fantasy, and surrealism.”
