Artist Statement

My work encourages people to think outside of their comfort zone and engage them to play. Life gets so serious as you grow up, and it is difficult to maintain the naïve romanticism of the world we had as children. Through movement and sound, I want to instigate a mindful interaction between the viewer and my work. I like to make spaces that are immersive. By using metal, ceramic, bone and mixed media, I draw a

connection between growing older and staying young.
