Artist Statement:
I am interested in creating work that takes aesthetic cues from international displays of ceremony, design, and decoration. Throughout history, decoration and embellishments often connote power and status. In my work I aim to deconstruct these ideas into contemporary displays while creating a new formal context. Funerary and celebratory ephemera are also used to explore the innate and culturally universal human desire to visually commemorate important moments in time.
