STATEMENT
The wonderful thing about the material I work with is how the object reflects the process, turning it into an artistic act in itself. I am very drawn to the simplicity of this material and the complexity it is able to communicate while being, essentially, mud. With my work, I have created a distinct language to express myself through materiality.
