The marrow of my conceptual interest derives from my experiences navigating the structures of late capitalism and the subsequent realities of everyday life. With these foundational attributes, my current work focuses on remixing familiar relationships between form, scale, and material to create suppositional narratives about the role of class identity within the American experience. Through crafted visual metaphors, I seek to examine the complex sociological implications of status, white supremacy, nationalism, and patriotism. These complexities are then distilled into digestible sculptural entities that aim to challenge established perspectives and societal norms. As a product of the American South, I feel a certain urgency to investigate how cultural perspectives develop and shape the ways in which people relate to one another. 
Means and Meaning is a rumination on class consciousness and its effectiveness as a lens through which every facet of contemporary life can be filtered for clarity.lor.
