ABOUT

As a conceptual artist I try to unbend normal, unsettle natural, and unwind beauty from its logic of power.

​​​

I'm interested in the power of everyday objects, habits and gestures to shape and reshape the world in which we live. Through a broad range of formal approaches such as ceramic sculpture, sign-making, lithography, and drawing as well as sewing and embroidery, I pursue the subtexts and erasures that dwell within conceptions of the natural, obvious, and common sense.

Recent exhibitions include the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC, the Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt in New York City, the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles, the Center for Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh, the New Mexico Museum of Art, the National Hispanic Cultural Center Museum, and the Albuquerque Museum. Notable reviews have appeared in Hyperallergic, Art 21 Magazine, American Craft, American Art Collector, and Ceramic Monthly, and more.
