Artist Statement:
In my practice, I use pop culture, language, and technology to frame selfhood and authorship as a state of fluidity. Utilizing devout mantras and intimate texts (culled from both personal and celebrity personas), I create moments where authenticity and meaning are distilled in the materials and processes on which I inscribe and imprint my phraseologies.
