STATEMENT

As a visual artist with A.D.D., I’m drawn to moments when the built environment breaks through the monotony of daily life and demands attention. My work explores fragments of architectural forms that carry a sense of history, personality, and human touch—qualities that are disappearing in favor of cold, mechanical development. I treat these elements like relics, jumbling and recontextualizing them into disembodied vignettes that invite pause and reflection.

I use accessible materials like plaster and spackle—those found in everyday construction—because I want my work to be familiar and approachable. It’s a way of encouraging people to look up and notice the moments when our built environment still surprises us, feels playful, expressive, or full of character. I see architecture as the most visible art form we interact with daily—and one we have the power to influence. Unlike nature, which we should not alter, architecture is ours to shape.

Visually, I’m drawn to retro-futurist aesthetics—a time when buildings embraced optimism and imagined bold, exciting futures, often without the guiding hand of Google Maps. These styles didn’t just house us; they seduced us. I consider myself an aesthete in search of those moments when design felt like an invitation rather than an imposition.
