My work is about taking control of my surroundings and confronting my fears about the human body's inner workings, and it's inevitable betrayal at the hands of time and aging.

I aim to remove buildings and vistas from their context in my day to day life and repurpose them as my own rebuilt structures at the heart of a swirling maelstrom of bone, muscle, and flora. The landscapes in these pieces can be seen as the serene, picturesque spaces amidst the chaos, as well as the undulating cacophony of architecture and flesh that surrounds them.

In cutting through the layers of paper, I am given the opportunity to play both surgeon and architect, for once in complete control over what lies inside.
