I am primarily interested in the fusion of the sacred and the absurd. What happens when I smash together a menorah with a toy troll with a ceramic fish with a cartoon head? In my sculptural works, I started threading wires between objects in an attempt at connecting the fragments of my life, winding forms into spiraling webs of meaning. My sculptures are physical mind maps. Bluebirds, cartoon toys, Judaica kitsch, 90’s teen angst symbols, immaterial feelings intersect in an unraveling spiderweb. I smother objects in plaster and paint, squeezing them to death, or post-death. Perhaps smothering objects in wet plaster is a kind of reckoning with mortality. A desperate desire for preservation at any cost. A mummification of things. Perhaps it is simply the impossible attempt at squeezing something so tight, it can stay alive forever. 

In my paintings, sculptural objects float in a deep black void. They are embedded into this immaterial, impossible viscous wet darkness, caught mid-flight, frozen in time and space, suspended in nothing.
