Project Description

My work is a collaboration of materials. Inspired by geological formations and natural occurring phenomena, I make sculpture, installations and drawings, which explore my wonder of the natural world.

During my residency at Sculpture Space I worked on a variety of projects ranging from drawings, to material studies, to small-scale sculptures. I experimented with a range of new materials, which allowed me to expand in a new direction of work. This work included combining glass components with resin and plastic to create invented homogenous forms. This residency allowed me time to complete work as well as begin to develop new ideas.
