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
In my work I explore material evidence of the power dynamics embedded in the hierarchies of institutional oppression and the histories that coincide with their existence in a Democratic Republic system of governance. Through research and labor intensive practices I create meticulous sculptures created from wood and silicone that are a result of the exploration of how perception, materiality, and process may question and reflect upon the psychological structures inherent in the design of societal mechanisms and their consequences on the human body and psyche. It is easy to overlook the corporeal results that political agendas place on the body, and how these effects are often remained out of sight for the purpose of continuing systems that benefit few but effect many, but my work emphasizes how the non-arbitrary nature of the devices, objects, and architecture of these institutions exist in contrast to the platitudes given to us by those that construct and wield power.
