If I can make someone feel something, whether it’s disgust, fear, or solace; then my art practice has thoroughly succeeded. As someone who has always been too nervous to speak and has struggled with my mental health for most of my life, I learned how to create art to represent my thoughts better than my voice can. I never limit myself to only one medium, so my work consists of video, yarn coils, charcoal drawings, watercolour paintings, installations, performance pieces, and anything else I see fit to express myself. Appropriation is common for me; as someone in a generation that constantly consumes media, a lot of things I’ve seen online and on television have helped shape the way I view things and how I create art. Frequently in my pieces, deer and wolves are used as a metaphor for human fragility and deep, mainly painful, emotions. 

My art has no boundary to where I place it; it can be on a white wall, outside, online, or a performance that goes anywhere and everywhere. My art is for everyone, especially those who feel like they don’t have a voice or are unable to articulate their feelings the way that they want to, and it can be seen by anyone who finds it. Despite its sometimes grotesque appearance, I want my art to provide a sense of comfort or support for those similar to me.
