I grew up in Brooklyn fostering a hands-on based making practice. I focused from an early age on what it means to occupy a body, transitioning from jewelry to furniture when coming to RISD to explore a new scale relationship to the body, but love to work in a wide variety of mediums including fabric and textile, found object, wood, clay, and metal (both precious metals and steel) focusing on embodied experience and community. Repetition and series play a key role for me when working in order to revisit, rework and improve my object making practice. I seek to create work that brings people together through connection, commonality and physical contact.
