Reality, 2019
Enamel, copper, brass, powder-coating
Electronic media has also become our space both to offer comfort and negate our immediate surroundings. It is our device to both escape and connect. Working within this dualism, this series of wall works attempt to create that micro of the electronic space and the macro of the physical space.

Fanny Pack: A Shelter for Sanctuary, Safety, & Serenity, 2019
Copper, brass, vitreous enamel, China paint, flocking, embroidery floss, nylon strap, plastic buckles
The Fanny Pack: A Shelter for Sanctuary, Safety, and Serenity is a piece lovingly devoted to my most loyal companion, the humble fanny pack. While I am the bumbling, nervous, wheezing MACRO, my pack is the micro, containing all the solutions to my daily struggles.

Rotten, 2019
Copper, enamel, polyester, stainless steel
Rotten depicts the power of microbial growth, which is unseen until it is too late. When you notice the rot, it has already spread throughout the fruit like a cancer and cannot be cut out.

Oxy-Rotten: Relief at a Cost, 2019
Copper, vitreous enamel, bronze, silver, steel ball bearings, handmade paper, American currency
This work was inspired by the rampant greed and indifference within the pharmaceutical industry. More specifically, it was the practices of Richard Sackler and Purdue Pharma’s aggressive marketing of OxyContin that encouraged the creation of OxyRotten: Relief at a Cost. In order to demonstrate this larger issue, the form of a pill bottle and lid serve as a vessel for a scroll of paper made from American currency.
