Artist Statement:
I am interested in the visual dualities that exist between language and
medium.
Combining humor, cynicism, and sculpture I hope to subvert the conventional
connotations of words and/or materials. My greatest ambition is to leave
the viewer with a slightly skewed perception of something, which they had
previously taken as common knowledge.
“Don’t
tell anyone anything they don’t
already firmly believe.” -Aldon Addington (former
professor)
