Artist Statement

My work thrives off themes based on media and objects that invoke my love for fun and nostalgia. A frankenstein of imagery results from a mixture of my obsession with things that are cute and cuddly, with my love of horror and gore.  

For my Studio Art Senior Capstone project I’m combining my studio practice of transforming found objects, with my love of crocheting. Destruction and transformation give me the ability to use objects as “yarn”and create fashion that conveys my emotional, nostalgic, and political concepts.
