At the beginning of the 2020 pandemic, I drove out into the Sonoran Desert and spent my time in isolation with a small group of others, living in a cave and outdoors over a period of two years. As the rest of the world became more connected to devices and digital material, my experience of nature and time deepened and lengthened, an experience only emphasized by my simultaneous gender transition. This experience with a real and embodied physical alchemy defined and made distinct my perspective, and is something I carry directly into my art practice. 

My work is centered in sculpture, particularly bronze. I sculpt and cast detailed yet fictional biological forms, deforming the mold differently through each iteration. I’ve also begun to shift my attention toward sound, using collaborative voice, constructed drone instruments, and primitive radios to create altered states via what I call “ritual technology”.

Informed by transformative experiences, I am interested in the colliding and overlapping realms of agency, spirituality, and emergence. Acknowledging transformation as default and stillness as something cultivated, I try to use my work to hold both at once, flickering side by side.
