Artist Statement
Whether I am carving in clay, winding thread, or drawing, the patterns always end up relating back to nature and the human body. It pulls lines and feelings similar to tree bark, or grass on the ground. Dirt and gravel, as well as homes of spiders. I see the texture of skin and scars, and hair cascading in an eternal abyss. I choose to pull my inspirations from life. From pieces of nature that encompass growth, life, and strength.
