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
My work is concerned with the material conditions of metamorphosis and with systems of representation that intersect these conditions. Discussing the classical poem The Metamorphoses, theorist Diedrich Diederichsen critiques the ontological system of its author's world: “How could Ovid claim that a being that has changed form—a human who has become a stone, or a god who has turned into a bird—is still the same thing and must therefore be called by the same name? The time someone spent living as a flower and the time that same someone spent living as a woman are part of the same fate, and make sense within the horizon of that fate.”
My work deals with material as it interacts with the name and form it has been given, as it presents itself to the world, as it both manipulates itself and is manipulated by time and other external forces. The resulting (non-anthropomorphic) works are trans, are clocky, are brick, and fittingly oscillate between different strategies -- adornment/inlay/destruction/reconstruction -- in order to represent themselves to the world.
