About
Born January 6, 1994
From Chesterfield, Michigan
2012-present: pursuing BFA in Fine Arts at College for Creative Studies​
Themes in my work:
-Chance -Representation -Everyday/ordinary
-Rules -Process -Overlooked/mundane
-Conventions - Conceptual -Humor/absurdity
Often times my work does not result in a pretty image, however it's honest. It's a humble experience with my environment. I take what surrounds me and analyze it for what it is; I like to say that I recontextualize the everyday, the ordinary, the overlooked, and play with conventions. I've taken an interest in presenting a new experience to my viewer through actions and images that are commonplace. As this has become a prevelant part of my practice, it has allowed me to better appreciate what I do and see. To really focus in on something, identify what it is that is at the core, and then make work about it continually challenges me; it challanges me to think about things I already feel I know. My everyday experiences and routines, things viewed or carried out automatically, become complex. I greatly enjoy seeing the results that are born from my attempts.
