“My work focuses on the act of fitting. This is an act we think about on a daily basis. ‘Do I fit into these pants?’ ‘Can I fit in that seat?’ ‘Do I fit with these people?’ As I wrap sinew around soft, plush foam to conform it to a predetermined barrier, I think of body-shaping garments people have used for centuries to fit into an ideal standard. This determination to fit into a mold at any cost is a concept that has always intrigued me. These pieces are an exploration into what happens when the subject is denied the opportunity to fit because of set parameters. What beauty can be found in the folds and wrinkles of pieces of foam that are left out? What lies in the cracks of clay left unfired? How do I fit?”
