Abstract
Through a lexicon of painted soft sculptures, salvaged furniture and objects referencing the hand-made, my work explores the absurdity of life through a lens of theatricality. My cast of characters are humanized with both physicality and interiority. The works haptic sensibility creates an oscillation between tangible object and metaphysical presence.
