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
I am an artist based in Brooklyn working primarily in sculpture and mixed-media.
My work grapples with questions of ecology, colonial legacies, and the paradoxical conflict between capitalism and human survival—between productivity and lack, utility and beauty.
In investigating these power structures, I draw from movements including Minimalism, art brut, land art and conceptualism, focusing mainly on abstraction and its history to explore the concept of what it means to benefit from exploitative systems but also be a victim of them.
Working largely with natural materials, my practice is connected to the past and ideas of ritual, while interpolating these traditions into 21st-century object-making that expands on the aesthetic ideas that have come before.
