Cracked Sculpture

My work explores the struggle between the human will and the world. I believe that there is an innate value to human labor and devotion, and that the spiritual can reside in the purity of these actions. Yet, the fruits of these actions can also be easily overlooked and even destroyed by petty desires or irreversible circumstances. Applying a multi-disciplinary approach to my art-making, I attempt to connect fragments of a shared melancholy through visceral interactions, images, and experiences that evoke a common human fear, longing, and desperation. With my work, I hope to express a deeply felt emotion that language fails to describe.
