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 sculptures and installations investigate the conflict between personal autonomy and societal norms. By reappropriating natural forms and celestial phenomena, ubiquitous materials are transformed to reveal the absurdities in our quest for meaning. Double consciousness serves as a conceptual lens to explore duality and the intricacies of identity, using double entendres to underscore absence and abjection, thus prompting reflection on what is left unsaid.
Materials such as fragments of American muscle cars, musical instruments, tools of labor, found clothing, and items from industrial production and advertising are chosen for their socio-economic and historical significance. Each selection emphasizes the interaction between materiality and meaning, converting the ordinary into a medium for deeper inquiry. The works delve into the interplay between memory, mythology, and historical interpretation, challenging established narratives and inviting a reconsideration of historical veracity.
