Artist Statement (2025)

Driven by narrative, my work explores the politics of the ubiquitous and mundane. These objects within everyday encounters spark not just a story, but heed warning of cautionary tales. In my work I am intrigued by the fluid boundaries between Mexican folklore, Southern traditions, and their complex relationship to craft. The vessels within my work provide function, but often incorporate sculptural elements that tell another story of play and consequence. Within my work, figurative elements combine with altar-like structures to create monuments to my past and our collective future.
