My work primarily focuses on the mixed racial experience living in the 21st post industrial and modern century. As a mixed racial human being I explore through my art practice what it means to live in the in-between spaces of cultural identity. 

Using clay and other natural and synthetic materials I create masks that represent this idea. The blending of both synthetic and the natural resonates with me as I move through life in the in-between spaces of race, ethnicity and cultural identity.

I have been inspired by the density of metropolitan areas, graffiti, urban trance, ancient cultural history, and the mixture of both the synthetic and human. These ideas and themes show themselves to me as I create, beckoning me to explore with unbiased eyes the reality of my mixed existence. And revealing to me a world of color, metal, meat, and fluorescent lights.

The hope for these mixed, sanctified, and distorted masks is to create a new identity within the cultural paradox that lives within all mixed people of color. To call out and connect with those living in the juxtaposed spaces between identity and culture is the driving force behind the creation of my work. And to forge from the fires of cultural chaos, a new identity, one that we can fully claim as our own.
