In 2022-2024 I received a generous grant from the Dietrich Inchworm Grant for Creativity at Hamilton College to support DiG. For over eighteen years my studio practice has been divided across geographies of New York State, Central New York and downstate in Brooklyn or Queens, and for two years, the South Shore of Long Island. I bounce back and forth between these geographies regularly. This duality has made its way into my psyche, and as an artist I am greatly inspired and influenced by my surroundings. I’m actively engaged in an investigation of the nature-made and human-made and how it influences my perspectives on the three-dimensional world we reside in. This geographical divide has also manifested into formal dichotomies in my sculptures, specifically between the geometric and the organic, the smooth and textural, and presence and absence.

I've been collaborating with artists Margaret Boozer, Jackie Brown, and geologist Sean Tvelia. Special thanks also to students Noah Jones, Shelly Cao, Dani Bernstein, and Scout Winer for their assistance in my studio processing clay.
