My art explores the contrasts and coexistence of comfort and confinement. Sometimes, I create works that use chain links in order to illustrate a sense of restriction within them in the final result. By creating sculptures and jewelry items that are supposed to be objects of beauty and giving them an unexpectedly morbid twist, I modify the connotation of metal art itself. 

I create art composed primarily of metals such as copper, silver, and brass, but some pieces include materials like rubber, gemstones, and enamel. They are organic and contrasting, with variances in color, texture, and patina. The technique of chain making is a prevalent motif throughout my body of work, interacting and moving with the body. Through my art, I bring up the idea that what we wear can function as a constricting force rather than a liberating form of self-expression.

In my newer art, I continue the concept of confinement, but I start to ask the question, “How can we break out?” I create pieces that are contained by solid backgrounds but their flowing lines imply a sense of movement. 

My drawings consist of charcoal, graphite, and oil pastels. Although they live on a flat surface, they itch to escape.
