My work investigates systems under pressure—how structure emerges, deforms, and persists when subjected to constraint. Across drawing, chalk pastel, and sculpture, I build biomorphic forms that register load, compression, and resistance rather than narrative or representation. The work is less concerned with depiction than with establishing conditions: accumulation, fracture, containment, and release.
Drawing and sculpture function interchangeably in my practice. Graphite and chalk operate through density, layering, abrasion, and produce forms that feel carved and tactile rather than illustrated. Sculptural works extend this logic materially, using pleated and origami-derived structural scaffolding to test how repeated geometry behaves when twisted and warped. In both cases, surface is not decorative; it is evidence of force.
In works on dark grounds, luminescence emerges from void, marking the movement of energy through constrained form. The forms remain biomorphic, but resist symbolism or narrative resolution. Instead, the work invites close observation of internal logic: how structure holds and folds, and where it grows and disintegrates.
