I am an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in ceramic sculpture. Through weaving, quilting, clay, and assemblage, I materialize visions of queer utopia. By engaging sites of labor such as construction and the loom, I sculpt architectures of longing and belonging. My sculptural assemblages of queer futurity mimic dwellings, built environments and vanishing points. Through ceramics, my practice embodies the provisionality and vulnerability of queerness - as a horizon, as a site of hope, risk, and disappointment, and as a glimpse of utopia. My ceramic forms are inspired by construction materials and bodily appendages, perforated and often glazed in skin and bone tones. Modeled after skeletal architecture and viscera, they pull the internal out. Weavings and quilts introduce softness and incompletion (more fragment than whole) offering snapshots rather than resolutions. Color is foundational to my work. Ephemeral oranges, reds, purples and fluorescents signal both temporality and the sublime - they connect body to soul when paired with flesh tones of the ceramic. My sculptures are assembled as proposals: yearning, exposed, and precarious. A break can be rebuilt, and in my work, as in my philosophy of queer utopia, there is no fault in failure. Debris belongs here - it is evidence of risk, evidence of going on.
