In my practice, I’m interested in mediums that create limitations and outcomes that show traces of the human hand. In a world where we value efficiency and timeliness, I aim to slow down. I have found myself drawn to physical processes that allow the viewer to see every line carved and every line stitched. I value design that centers play, and experimentation. I had never taken an art class before coming to Appalachian State to study graphic design and I have learned quite a lot in that time. One of the most beautiful things about becoming an artist and designer has been seeing the impact art can have on growing a community, creating comfort, and offering hopeful perspectives. I hope to continue those motifs through gentleness, honesty, and approachability in my work.
