About the Item
We surround ourselves with elements from nature in the form of manicured lawns, sculpted trees,
and our domesticated companions. We bend the natural world to our tastes and create a comfortable
place from which to appreciate its unpredictable beauty. My sculptures weave every day objects with
the animal form to create new layers of information. I use tactile materials to create beautiful yet
absurd creatures that are half wild yet domesticated by human intervention. My work approaches
topics of femininity, domesticity, and our perceived place in nature. My animals are transformed by the
texture and colors of human detritus into poetic creatures that reflect our conflicted desire for control
over our environment and our search for a feral beauty. We sometimes move through this life at a
frantic pace, and my creatures are a reflection of the ebb and flow of our actions.
