My work has consisted of wire, ceramic and paper mace.  Now shifting to found object, natural wood and possibly welding steel. My work is mostly identiy based speaking to my experience as trans Queer man asking questions of where do I belong, Who am I? how do I fit into society and what does my future look like. These are questions most people ask or desire to answer. I use a wide range of materials because I'm not attached to the materials themselves but what each says about the idea I'm trying to explore My work isn't defined by material but the concepts Im interested in exploring and

My Most recent exhibition Open The Door: A Journey of Self Discovery was about my experience of how I find my identity.
