Experimenting with language and time-based media, I aim to construct an unreliable narrator, navigating through failed translation and connection. My work often uses visuals as means to both confuse and confirm. Through studies of transportation and motion, I wish to study the experience of moving through the world, thinking about individuals as their own enclaves. My practice also involves using casting and other sculptural materials as a way of touching and memorizing surfaces, manifesting shapes for things that are loosely perceived or presented. Giving my full trust to blunt lies, my work creates their own physics and shifting personas that float slightly above reality.
