Humans are social animals — interrogating this hunger for connection and collective search for meaning forms the core of my work.

I’m most interested in love and violence. Love as violence. The cruel optimism of affection. What it means to need. To burn and bleed. To kill in His name. To kneel and beg. To forget to close your eyes. To participate in the futile, mortifying ordeal of being known.

My work is informed by a Roman Catholic education, and a brain developed with unrestricted access to the Information Superhighway. Though the work is often expository and confrontational, I am always creating from a place of empathy. Whether it's religion, inceldom, or the military, every piece considers some framework through which one could find meaning, and I never take that lightly.

Material considerations are at the forefront of everything I make, and thus my work spans a wide variety of media. Found objects, archival photography, and other appropriated matter form the base of many projects, where recontextualization and intervention urge the audience to explore their relationships with the elements presented. I rarely make work I consider to be autobiographical, so utilizing authentic material from the communities I’m interrogating remains ultimately important.
