Artist Statement
Growing up in southeast Texas swamps, I spent my formative years preparing for life ahead while watching several family members I lived with suffer from terminal illness. This environment/circumstance combination led me to find comfort in studying facets of decay and the recycling of energy and matter. My work takes inspiration from the adaptations of life and manipulation of physical, mental, and spatial landscapes due to various natural phenomena.
