"My artistic practice abides by a philosophy of "Joy": playing with the space between human beings, the rules, the roles, the boundaries. Making visible the private symbols shared by two people with common memories. Presenting as art, the games we construct to romanticize the spaces between us, the vocabulary we build to show one another that something sacred has taken place in fleeting moments where minds and bodies have touched. The language of the sacred, so often exploited to incentivize obedience, manipulate sentiment, extract effort. Separating the sacred from its profane uses. Preserving the truth in fiction."

I love working with wood, metal, fabric (sewing), and digital multimedia (Arduino, MaxMSP). I'm still trying to develop my collage/mixed medium, digital-organic style, and I definitely don't consider myself a very good artist. The main purpose thus far in my artwork has just been stuff that I hope makes people feel happy, and inspire people to be more empathetic towards others.
