Sculptures
A lot of the work that you can find on this page is from my senior show exhibition. Some of it is from earlier, though a lot of it goes together in the same installation setting. It is hard to capture pieces that are so small and supposed to be viewed in-person, so let's hope that as a viewer you can understand and see some of my most-recent work.
