I build altars, monuments and set up alternate-reality narratives which commemorate American middle-class rituals. Using black humor, I grapple with pervasive issues of class and gender that complicate our outlook and fuel our anxiety.

Through combining machine -made, mass-produced items which are complimentary to our consumer identities with familiar textures and objects which pull us toward our collective penchant for nostalgia, I prod at both mortality and morality. I borrow from DIY home decorating gurus, Rococo interiors,childrens' fantasy, science fiction and soft-sculpture to create my own surreal lexicon.
