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
As a conceptually driven artist, I examine embodied sensation as interwoven through social, communicative, and biological systems of everyday life. I see the works as entanglements exposing the feeling of how these stimuli traveling internally circulate and resonate. I am currently focused on decline and resilience, debris and glitch, the emergent, and new relics. Deeply fascinated by the knots and threads that comingle information, patterns, codes, our social interactions are perpetually shaped by mass media, daily practices, and the functions of the body. I see works as forms of “psychogeology” that bear witness as records, maps, and time capsules.
Wanting to transform debris into new forms, has directed my interests towards upcycled clay from industrial ceramic fabrication. Trimmings, failed forms pile and accumulate in the workplace and are discarded. Reclaiming these 40 – 50lb bags offers a way to work with weighted objects that feel bodily. The contours of each unique object as found material, provide a way for me to translate these into my own psychogeological records. Ultimately, through painting with glaze, I can transform the objects into discreet works, and/or those part of a larger network. Aesthetic choices imply flesh, digital/analog media patterns, comics, architecture, electricity, consumer packaging, geography, astronomy, Judaic codes, walking, the diagrammatic, physics, food, plants, water, textiles, news, and sound, amongst other sources.
