B. 2003, Vermont. Based in Chicago IL.

My work addresses the ambiguity of memory and reactions to grief over time. The best things I have in life are my memories. By tapping into a mode driven by sensory stimuli, fragmentation, and the dissolution of boundaries, I transform chaos and destruction into aesthetic order and form. I explore layers and transparencies, vulnerability, and shared experience. Humor also plays a role in my work, as I examine the paradox of comedy and its relationship to tragedy.
