Artist Statement

​

​

​

​

​​

I've always been fascinated by biology and the workings of the natural world. I enjoy reading about and researching scientific concepts within the field of biology, following my curiosity across different aspects of the subject. I work with many materials and for each project I use media which I feel will best convey the concept of the piece.
