SELECTED WORKS / PROJECTS
KEPT (ongoing) — archive-based work preserving handwritten prayers from public spaces; curated selections reproduced on raw linen at monumental scale, exactly as written (with explicit consent).
Before Grace (2024) — Acrylic and gold leaf on wood panel exploring moral dualism—“bad/good”—and the limits of self-made righteousness.
Narrow Gate (2021) — Mixed-media work referencing Matthew 7:13–14; a bound figure and layered surface evoke constraint, passage, and transformation.
Religion (2019) — Site-specific installation using wood, cable, a single rose, and shell casings to stage tension between beauty, doctrine, and interpretive force.
Food Chain (2012) — Installation combining a taxidermy tuna with live aquatic systems to examine consumption, control, and stewardship within engineered ecosystems.
