Artist Statement

My current body of work explores the relationship that queerness and queer intimacies have to space and place through the use of ceramic sculptures, installations, and functional objects. Specifically, the place one calls home has a complex relationship to being and belonging in the American South when it comes to living in a queer body. My work draws on architectural elements and kitsch objects found in Southern domestic spaces to examine the complexities of inhabiting environments that may only offer conditional acceptance.
