My work focuses on ideas and stories that I haven’t seen before or haven’t seen told from my perspective. A lot of my inspiration comes from my dreams, over-exaggerations of situations I’ve been in, stories from my family members about their childhoods, and the people from my home city of Brooklyn. I create work that is best described as wearable art, bridging the gap between apparel and fine art. What I create is certainly for the brave, pieces at the borderline of sculpture and apparel that are meant to cause immediate attention to the wearer by using bright colors and found materials.  As a maker I want to show people previously unimaginable possibilities, and encourage them to love and re-wear art.
