Artist Statement
Trained in fine arts with a natural bend toward making cultural accessible, hand-held objects, I am an inter-disciplinary artist interested in artist-publishing, books arts, and storytelling traditions. I make art that lives in the space between fine art and consumer product; I effort to make beautiful, complex, thought-provoking work disguised as something regular people might want or need, at the same time rejecting the capitalist drive to make “art products” or an “art brand”. Synchronistically, almost all of my work centers and acknowledges domestic labor and life, as well as the cultural spaces and inanimate objects that support domestic activity. I have a particular love for animating the magic in the mundane. For every reason above, I consider myself a folk-artist — an artist creating work about and for the people.
