By highlighting marginalized spheres and their connection to the status quo, my work investigates visual language and the human connection to physical goods and the natural world. Employing materials as diverse as 3D printed resin, neon, and turned wood, I embrace both tradition and emerging technologies to illuminate the manufactured disparity between high and low culture. The often-overlooked realms of folk art and belief, as well as the diminished history and signifiers of queer society act as touchstones for a deeper consideration of masculinity, politics, mythologies, and the place of consumerism in American society.
