Look What I Found On The Beach Mom, 2024
Glazed Ceramic, Mixed-media
A yellow ceramic sculpture with an organic black and pale dotted pattern, set inside a black bucket. The sculpture has cone-like appendages that jut out through an opaque mist and rests atop black rocks at the bottom of the bucket. From two appendages, water pours out steadily.
What is its purpose? To be on display in a gallery? To exist? Is it just a manifestation of creative expression that needed to happen to satisfy the artist?

Feed Me, 2024
Glazed Ceramic, Mixed-media
“Feed me. There is a small metallic bucket in this room somewhere, look around, find it. Within that bucket, there is food for me. Feed me. Do it now, I’m waiting. My hunger sees no end. I eat and I eat, yet I am. Never satiated.”
The playful installation features a small orange figurine sitting on a circular disk, leaning back on its arms with its mouth agape. Within the same exhibition space,
there is a bucket containing black beads. Visitors are encouraged to interact with the figure by putting beads into its mouth. As many as they like.

Patience Training, 2023
Audiovisual installation, video
A person with short purple hair, dressed in all black clothes, sits on a brown sofa to the right, reading a book. A person, also wearing black clothes and a dog mask is kneeling by the left side of the sofa, watching the other person. They shift in their position placing their closed fists on the armrest.
Eventually the person reading makes note of the other and throws a dog toy out of frame. The masked person retrieves the toy and resumes their position.
When do we willingly surrender our power?
Do you ever play with power?

Coping Puppa, 2022
Plaster, Hemp rope, Mixed-media
A smooth white pod-like sculpture with four partial openings, bound by and hanging from the ceiling (out of frame) by natural hempen rope.
A visualization of the body calcifying experiences it wishes to reject.
