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
Drawing on tensions between the boundlessness we feel on a planet beset by entropy, and the tethered nature of our digital and material presence, I use conservation as a lens through which to survey the landscape. By incorporating recycled and discarded materials into my practice, I seek to highlight the cultural, social, and environmental consequences of consumerism, overconsumption, and labour that these unsustainable habits can have on our planet.
Re-using rope or ‘ghost rope’ that has been retrieved after being discarded at sea, and transforming it into organically shaped, anthropomorphized objects, this work addresses consumerism and its consequences on our ocean’s health — and thereby, our own — perhaps opening a dialogue about humans’ impact on the Earth’s climate and natural ecosystems.
