Another Failed Attempt
About
My work seeks to embody alternative possibilities through abstract forms that merge architectural structure with speculative visions. Drawing from sacred and utopian architecture, science fiction, and the natural world, I create works that operate at the intersection of the tangible and the ineffable, offering a fantastical interpretation of the future through process-driven experimentation and material discovery.
Inspired by art historian Dan Byrne-Smith’s claim that “the importance of simple acts of imagining things as other than they seem cannot be overstated,” I treat my materials as agents of potential. Cast resin, found objects, personal photographs, and organic matter like seeds, shells, and insects are embedded into layered compositions that oscillate between legibility and abstraction. These elements, fragmented and individually incomplete, come together like constellations, forming hybrid structures that reference both speculative futures and past personal memory.
My artwork engages the tension between permanence and transience, fragility and resilience. The forms I create are embedded with images and impressions that hint at larger systems and rhythms beyond human scale. Grounded in playful yet precise arrangements, the works become apertures, openings that invite viewers to imagine realities beyond the apparent. Through this lens, abstraction becomes not an escape, but a hopeful gesture toward constructing new structures of perception and meaning.
I live and work in Atlanta, GA and and teach at Emory University. My multidisciplinary practice encompasses sculpture, painting, drawing, and photographic processes. I hold an MFA and an MA in Art History from Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA and a BFA from Univeristy of Arizona, Tucson, AZ. My work has been exhibited at venues including the Atlanta, Contemporary, Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA GA), the National Centre for Contemporary Arts in Minsk, Belarus, and the Kokoka International House Gallery in Kyoto, Japan.
When not in the studio or classroom, you can find me trying to persuade friends and family to pool their resources to start a commune.
