Past Exhibit
To Wonder & Wander
Rogers GalleryI am a person in love with a thing called fiction. A story that is invented to entertain or deceive. This passion for invented stories, for mythology, informs my work. For a narrative to be convincing, a narrative that engages and enthralls there must be layers, there must be detail or I won’t believe. My [...]
The Helmet Project
Upper Traylor GalleryAt 8am on September 11, 2001, it was easy to perceive our lives as serene; we were safe.

Tredennick GalleryThis exhibition showcases the work of our graduating Art majors.
Dearest
Upper Traylor GalleryMy studio practice includes interactive soft sculpture, performance, and works on paper. I create sensory experiences that allude to sensations such as weightiness, pressure, and simple gestures like hugging and hiding. I emphasize tactility to conceptually address a displaced sense of self and a universal search for belonging. Tactility is paramount in my work because [...]
