I’m interested in making pieces that create a symbiotic relationship between people, objects and moments. I’m interested in producing work that provoke questions about socially constructed ideals and values. The role objects plays on how people present themselves and move through the world. I’m fascinated by this perception of self through this power of transformation. I love the idea of questioning what we wear, create and how that relates to beauty, comfort and tradition.
