Working across all mediums I have a deeply held belief that the aesthetic must be on a par with the conceptual nature of a work. My work primarily explores and observes the relationship between materials they’re cultural history they hold.
Working with materials such as Red Wine Ash and White Feathers, I intend to open up a dialogue with the viewer, creating visually striking works. That speak to the viewers by putting emphasis on the sheer beauty of the used matter.
