Double Entendre (installation view)
2025
IA&A at Hillyer
Washington, D.C.
Double Entendre, is a body of work that cross-examines policy, health, and anthropological studies around the AIDS Crisis and resource extraction, focusing primarily on silica and mining industries. By studying these seemingly disparate situations, I use my research and creative practice to interrogate the boundaries and assumptions about the complexities between the connotations of queer and blue collar. This work looks inwards, towards the intersections of these two identities to further understand its position socially, graphically, through data, archives, and images.
This body of work is grounded conceptually in printmaking, fiber, and glass art practices, creating historical nods to the infographic pamphlet, the AIDS quilt, the union t-shirt, and production glass. Double Entendre responds somatically to stories of love and labor around these phenomenons, positioning care and communication as critical resources of survival in the face of health and policy.

Built by Popular Demand (exhibition view)
2024
Temple Contemporary
Tyler School of Art + Architecture
Built by Popular Demand is an exhibition exploring the palm tree as a symbol of placemaking and utopia. Informed by my research on beach tourism and experience as a project manager in a signage shop, I assert the unstable relationship between the visual and the productive. Working collaboratively with sculpture, print, and craft studies, I make connections between the built-environment and sites of cultural production, revealing undertones of the political in the process.

Scarring the Earth With Desire (exhibition view)
2024
Skylab Gallery
Columubs, OH
Scarring the Earth with Desire, is a body of work exploring survival aesthetics through research on the entanglements of tourism and climate change in tropical environments. Working with material studios and printed ephemera, the work references ways that image, language, ecology, and production frame perception around survival and leiure through the built environment and exoticized travel. Through abstract thinking and speculative research, this exhibition highlights the slippages between crisis and stability through short-sighted perspectives on destination utopia.
As an artist, I’m interested in the split-difference between perception and reality, and how collage, print, and material sciences can act as a metaphor for the construction, deconstruction, learning, and unlearning of how we think about climate change and leisure. Each of these works pull from research to reimagine and forge new ways of thinking about our role and connection to environmental kinship.

Building a T-Rex
2023
Screen printed and laser cut plywood, assembled with brackets, nuts, bolts, and hanging hardward
99” by 72” by 26”
Using basic Adobe software, I scanned the sheets of a wooden 3D dinosaur puzzle. Using image tracing, scaling, and large scale signage production, I recreated the puzzle to a larger than life scale, treating each piece by intuitively screen printing a floral pattern onto it. The result is a sculptural print piece that sits somewhere between a display in a natural history museum and a children’s museum sculpture.
This work draws inspiration to my research on roadside and coastal attractions of strange nature. This includes, the history of larger-than-life monuments that often depict natural history and pop culture as advertising and selling points.

Collaged UV prints on laser cut acrylic
48” by 40” by 0.75”
Using print shop UV printing technology, I created a one-to-one facsimile print of my dog, along with oversized florals, colorful moths, and tile designs that were edited from Home Depot’s online webstore. This work explores queering print shop materials to produce something frivilous from utilitarian media.
