252 West Haines Street Sculpture

I’m working with unassuming scrap wood that I find in civilized places (basements, lots, storage units) to create abstract, anti-representational, textural sculptures that can be touched by the observer. My aesthetic approach offers a feminist take on woodworkers and sculpturists like Warton Eisherick, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Jacques Lipchitz. Channeling thought leaders like Octavia Butler, Maggie Nelson, and Pema Chodron, I carve the wood to reveal the spiritually inherent in the grain, making decisions intuited through the wood fibers in a meditative state. The sculptures evoke a softness and ghostliness to the once organic matter, offering permission and agency to ponder and feel the incoherence of existence without relying on semiotics.
