The practice of finding beauty within disabled, gender-queer body has been integral to my work. I have found that the average relationship between a mind and a body is complicated, and often emotionally fraught. Whether this is due to gender or disability, as mine is, or another factor entirely, it is common for people to contemplate the state, appearance, or biology of their body.

My work centers sculptural representations of the human form, in all its imperfection and beauty. I believe in the necessity of three-dimensional art about the body, as physicality and form are essential to the presence that a figurative piece deserves. The non-traditional materials, colors, and imagery that I incorporate into my work depicts the body as riddled with flaws. Using fabric, paper, and found objects, I emphasize the peculiarity of the human form, balancing these with deep blues, greens, and reds to call into focus the fundamental naturality of the body. To further these points, I often bring elements of nature and imperfection into my depictions of the body, referencing human biology, decaying or fragmented images, or plants to explore the complexity of the body.
