Artist Statement
Within my practice i draw from my memories and work to depict them by challenging the possibilities of technology and using different techniques of making and focusing on bringing forth the causality principle. Currently, I pull from memories I’ve had in the past and work to depict them within the context of today's language, at times having to challenge the possibilities of technology and work with different disciplines of art-making to keep the causality principle alive.
