At a young age, I developed a fascination with my surrounding environment and the objects existing within it. This led to a constant exploration of the functionality and interactivity of entities within this space. My investigation began through reading books about science, mechanics, and the great modern inventors. I soon started to dissect old electronics in my garage and any other junk I could get my hands on; attempting to reassemble these objects and sometimes making new creations of my own. 

​

People, including myself, are constantly craving an escape from their everyday lives. As an artist, my aim is to highlight the beauty in both our concrete realities and our subconscious ones. Through my work, I am striving to fabricate a space in which people can experience the middle ground between the real and unreal. This is in no way a crack at realizing the meaning of life but purely the opposite. A realm where one can feel a sense of comfort in the absurd, while at the same time observing the terrible wonder of the unknown.

My work currently spans a wide range of mediums including: sculpture, video, sound, collage, performance, and painting. Check out my social media / email me with any business inquiries or if you just want to say hi and talk art.
