I am an artist based in New York. I received my BFA from the University of Michigan in 2016 and MFA from Goldsmiths University of London in 2020. I have exhibited work in London, New York, Mexico City, Michigan, Florida, and California. My work highlights vignettes of surprising, off-center, and intimate moments. I’m interested in the experience of mutual finding, of stumbling upon the strange and weird; a fish on the ground in Chinatown, leaking a mysterious fluid beneath prospective buyers’ feet; a funhouse mirror of nude woman reflected in the bathtub drain. These moments become the material of a collective inside joke, oddities and absurdities captured in painting. The painted imagery is derived from photographs I take, as well as images sourced from advertisements. These found moments, captured in a treasure hunt, are encased in bespoke, handmade sculptural frames in cast plaster, ceramic, mosaic, and resin. Like the odd moments, these sculptures frame the peripheral moment to both underline the event and accessorize the joke.
