The sculptures and prints I make today reflect my experience growing up queer and cultureless in the crossroads between rural Christian fundamentalism and gentrified liberal urban sprawl. 

I use materials that are found, gifted, upcycled, and second-hand, collaging deconstructed Americana elements of resistance together in amalgams of trash, faggotry, folk art, nature, guilt, grief, history, and radical self-creation. 

By reviving traditions of craft lost through assimilation and consumerism, and by rejecting predetermined roles of gender and social status, my work aims to encourage others to forge community, to rekindle their own culture, to protect wild spaces, and to build homes within the bodies they grow into.
