I find satisfaction in the observance of the simplest of things and trying to place meaning in the mundane. My ideas are often random, but influenced by past experiences and current events. I aim to elevate an object’s significance by altering through form and composition, thus creating a merged relationship between objects to convey emotion. My work is sometimes inspired by nature and often alludes to domestic items.
