About
My work blends performance, sculpture, and installation to explore the dynamics between the body, space, and objects. I transform the near-at-hand furnishings of daily life into performative elements, to explore their ‘mute’ insistence: their capacity to demand, resonate, and echo through form and texture. My work is grounded in questions of how we relate: across bodies with different capacities (human and non-human), across spaces, and through material entanglement. In my work, camouflage often slips. What remains is the outline of a desire that knows its failure is already form, perhaps leaving behind a softer and stranger shape.
Support
My practice is currently supported by the Mondriaan Fund.
