My sculptures are not the most normal looking things. I tend to have a biological connotation to my art, so I use natural materials. I think it makes my sculptures unique and different from anyone else’s because I go that extra mile to find my materials rather than use traditional ones. Why try to make it look real when you can use the real thing?
I’m a wanderer. I scavenge. It’s one of my favorite things to do. You’ll be surprised by the things you can find in thrift stores, random antique stores. I can find cheap items that nobody wants and bring a new life to them in my sculptures.
I was awarded at this year’s Neptune Festival for my sculpture collection. It’s on display right now in our Commons.
Is art something you want to keep doing after you graduate?
My number one college, as of right now, is attending Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY for interior design. I like putting things together, mixing and matching. Finding the new “in” thing. There are so many places I could go with it.
