The intricate connections you see?

That’s my brain weaving constellations. Perceiving structure and building immersive environments and thinking in layers: visual, emotional, architectural. Creating installations that echo the way memory and imagination overlap. Each piece becomes less an object and more an experience. a place where resonance can be felt as much as seen.

I’m an Artist, professional scavenger, and lifelong builder of large things. I make immersive installations and sculptures rooted in joy, curiosity, and a deeply ingrained inability to throw useful objects away.

I grew up on a farm in Upper Michigan, where my brothers and I were essentially raised wild. TV was not an option, so imagination was the main form of entertainment. I spent most of my childhood disappearing into the woods alone for hours, inventing worlds, building things, and learning how to turn nothing into something. My parents’ daily ritual of kicking us outside directly shaped my creativity, my independence, and my belief that boredom is just a failure of imagination.

That upbringing taught me how to value land, materials, people, and process. We saved everything. We reused everything. We repurposed everything. I learned early that objects have second lives—and sometimes third, fourth, and fifth ones too. To this day, I see potential where others see trash.

My work lives in the tension between the organic and the industrial: paper, leather, and textiles colliding with steel, gears, computer innards, and the occasional piece of abandoned rocket science. I work primarily in three dimensions; sculpture, assemblage, and still-action installation...because flat things have always felt limiting. Steel and vintage ephemera are my love languages.

I’m especially drawn to books, pages, and tactile materials—objects that will one day disappear as everything goes digital. To me, they already feel like future artifacts: precious, fragile, and irreplaceable. My work challenges our obsession with consumption and technology, while quietly honoring the beauty of the physical, the handmade, and the human.

In short: I build things, reuse old things, love analog things, and will absolutely stop to inker with something cool. The intricate connections you see?
