About The Artwork

As a cement/concrete artist, I like to draw conclusions with an otherwise ordinary item. Reframing the experience of structural materials for their texture, authenticity, and gravity. In this piece, what appears to be an obvious assumption, could actually have the opposite meanings. Some open-ended questions related to the piece : 1. What are we bearing witness too, exactly? Is this birth or death ? 2. What environment resonates with you the most ? Why ? 3. What does survival mean to you ? The universal laws of duality apply to this piece. This is an original piece made from a wood beads, ballon, macrame cord, latex, silicone mould, and aircrete cement (perlite and cement). This piece is the first impression cast in the mould.

I'm originally from the East Coast, however, I now reside in Las Vegas, Nevada. My experiences living in urban areas such as Washington DC and Baltimore have greatly influenced her work and her perspective. My aesthetic vision is deeply rooted in the idea of interconnectedness and survival. I understand that in urban environments, knowing when to make connections and from whom is crucial for not only personal survival, but also for the survival of communities. Through my sculpture work, I seek to explore the relationship between urban decay, the effects of redlining, and the ability of communities to connect with nature through salvage, green spaces, and even urban blight. I use cement as a medium because it's prevalent in urban cities and adds a distinct texture and weight to each sculpture. My intention is to create a powerful visual representation of the complex and often difficult realities of life in urban environments. Through my work, I invite you to consider the importance of intentional living and the ways in which we can connect with each other and the world around us.
