the little things
The little things I surround myself with often are meant to reminder me of the larger things. Those things in my life that matter most, my priorities, my inspiration, my joy. I make art that explores my relationship with space and my mental state. The art works big and small serve as a reminder of those internal conversations and make them into real objects.
