Artist Statement
I am an interdisciplinary artist and designer living and working in an expanding universe. I use design as a collaborative gateway into my varied curiosities and fields of interest, and as a tool for communication, investigation, and critique. With my work, I seek to broaden, deepen, shift, and evolve existing modes of understanding.
While At Headlands
As Designer in Residence, I hope to embody experimentation and examination, to traverse the boundaries between art and design, to question and alter my perceptions, and to be in conversation with the unknown and unknowable. I look forward to sharing time and space with this landscape and community, and I hope to cross paths with some coyotes.
