artist statement
My art holds opposing truths in tension: the ways we fracture inwardly and the ways we are sustained by one another, by ritual, and by the myths we create in order to survive. Drawing from Indo-European spiritual practices, alchemical ideas of duality, and archetypal psychology, I confront the ways meaning is constructed, destabilized, and reclaimed when the psyche is under pressure.
Working across performance, sculpture, installation, audiovisual media, and sound, I translate these ideas into physical and psychological experience. I construct environments that slow attention, heighten perception, and demand an awareness of what is unfolding both around and within the viewer. Through ritual, image, sound, and material, the art establishes a space in which internal experience becomes collective, revealing how we locate ourselves within the larger structures of myth, ritual, and human connection.
