Artist Registry


The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK

I capture glass in mid-motion, resulting in works best described with verbs. With glass pooling, oozing, and bulging from ceramic forms, each sculpture feels precarious, like a moment that cannot last.

I develop kiln programs to heat the glass until it is viscous and then quickly drop the temperature to pause the drips, giving my materials agency to embody heat, gravity, and time. My sculptures, arrested in motion, reflect a refusal to accept impermanence. The work is a response to grief, both personal and environmental. 

The bodily forms resemble fruit, nuts, geodes, and undersea creatures. I complicate their seemingly organic nature by incorporating rings designed to hang from custom hardware. The sculptures suggest a fuzziness between human and human-made, plant and mineral, troubling categorization and connoting infinite fluid possibilities.
