About me: I primarily work in ceramics and bronze, using these materials to rupture perceived binaries, create community, and envision a symbolic utopia. My recent sculptures pay tribute to things we typically overlook or deem nuisances, such as costume jewelry, weeds, insects, and spills.

Most valuable lesson learned in art school: Kristen Morgin told me to toughen up. She said, “Stop drinking tea and start drinking whisky; stop doing yoga and start boxing.” The second most valuable lesson I learned was: just because people talk a lot in critique doesn’t mean they’re smart.

Most valuable lesson you didn’t learn in art school? I have very little control over anything.
