I am a sculptor whose practice centers on cast bronze as a means of examining endurance, adaptation, and the body’s capacity to remain functional under sustained stress. Drawing from the physical language of the spine without reproducing it directly, I create abstract structures that investigate how systems reorganize after failure rather than return to an original state.

The foundry process is inseparable from the meaning of the work. Bronze is transformed through heat, pressure, and force before solidifying into a permanent record of change. Through casting, suspension, binding, and segmentation, I treat form as a structural system under load. Compression, expansion, and fracture are not concealed—they remain visible as evidence of adaptation.

My work approaches endurance not as the absence of pain, but as the ability to remain functional within it. Rather than presenting resilience as triumph over adversity, the sculptures consider how bodies and structures continue by redistributing force, negotiating instability, and reorganizing after failure.

I am currently pursuing an MFA in Sculpture at the University of Dallas and hold a BFA in Art and Technology from the University of Oklahoma. Working across intimate objects and larger installations, I continue to investigate the relationship between craftsmanship, material transformation, and the enduring capacity of structure to persist through change.
