Growing up neurodivergent, I spent a lot of time watching movies and reading books, learning things about myself that I could not grasp instinctually in the way that my peers seemed to. I can struggle to find words for ideas that explore uncomfortable places. The time, energy, and thought that I put into a piece helps me to find those words and greater self awareness. Understanding my queerness and femininity came from the combination of multimedia storytelling I was drawn to, the art I was making, and the curious-minded people I surrounded myself with. I am able to communicate myself to others with my work. I find a home in the slow, detail based processes. The traditional techniques that I study inspire new projects, and the people I work around challenge my ideas. Combining my metalsmithing knowledge with other craft mediums, I explore cinematic moments through miniatures which focus on intimate private spaces. The small scale of my work invites the viewer to spend more time engaging with the finer details, creating a deeper immersion into the piece. I make jewelry and sculptural objects that reference sexuality and the body, prioritizing the uncanny and the provocative. Through the process of creation I find clarity, and provide the opportunity to bring others into my world.
