Artist Statement

Where is the line drawn? I follow it across the pad of my thumb, see it curve through the grooves of a peach pit, carry electric signals across a circuit board, and repeat itself in the fragile wings of a mosquito feeding on my wrist. The line is not static. It bends, folds, and dissolves. Rather than marking separation, it becomes a site where bodies, materials, and systems converge into an expanding web.

My practice is shaped by a tension between intimacy and regulation, and by a desire to understand how care is administered through systems that also exert control. I am interested in the ways technological, religious, medical, and domestic structures promise reassurance, safety, or connection, while quietly shaping bodies and behaviors. I approach these questions through a quiet absurdism and a commitment to care, treating care not as purely benevolent, but as something complex, conditional, and often procedural. Working with silicone, steel, glass, scent, sound, and incollaboration with robots, bacteria, and other nonhuman agents, I create environments that sit close to the body. Heat, vibration, breath, and touch function as interfaces that bypass rational distance and implicate the viewer physically. Observation becomes participatory rather than neutral, and intimacy is mediated through institutional forms. My practice moves between art, science, and technology. The uncanny or abject appears not to shock, but to acknowledge that bodies and systems are porous and never fully contained. They absorb, leak, and leave traces. By foregrounding these entanglements, I invite viewers to consider forms of connection that resist rigid hierarchies and open up more relational ways of sensing and being.
