If I were anything but human, I would be a plant; a long appendage who wiggles their way from dirt toward maturity and shifts daily with the direction of the sun. I reflect this daydream in my sculptural beings made from found objects and furniture covered in handmade paper clay. The playful forms reflect a child’s world; a world filled with symbols, shapes, and size. In my visual playground, house plants integrate with the sculptural beings living in a symbiotic relationship, mutually benefitting off one another. The vivid colors vibrate the senses in the way a flower uses visual cues to attract a pollinator. The repetitive designs and undulating forms prompt meditative states to contemplate our own bodies in space, while promoting reverence for the microscopic and commonplace natural wonders of the world around us.
