About

My work utilizes various forms of mushrooms and ammonia fungi as a proxy by which I process how the human experience is influenced by dualism and its perverse outgrowths as they relate to Christian Fundamentalism. By testing personal boundaries through confronting the state of disembodied decay that this Body finds itself in, I present objects both foreign and familiar, with evocations of flesh, growths, and alienating diseases. In doing so, I aim to touch a subliminal nerve that speaks to the vulnerability of the human body, and to initiate an experience of embodiment. By studying these natural specimens and responding with my own, I aim to uncover the thematic sinews that I perceive within both my lived experience and that of America at large. In doing so, I seek to close the gap between the marginalized and the perceived holy, and to erode the established perceptions of disparity between the secular and sacred.
