ARTIST STATEMENT

I am concerned with the falsehood of the American Dream and the drive to aspire for more materially and socially, in addition to the unsustainability of maintaining this lifestyle. I am exploring these concepts through installation and in my use of specific materials to create overwhelming environments that are a by-product of nostalgia, consumption, and yearning. 

Slow time and slow looking are engaged as an alternative means to filling the void with things or social economic expectations. Slow looking calls into question capitalist systems and colonial standards and functions. Through architectural intervention I am producing illusive spaces with moments of pause and reflection, while confronting the viewer with their own tendencies towards consumerism.
