Artist Statement - My process of creating is in constant flux throughout the entire cycle of my practice. The most effective way that I have found of releasing control of my work, is through collaboration, including collaborating with a horse’s ass! Themes of my work begin with who or what I will be collaborating with. Here in Iowa, I have found inspiration in working with local farmers, reclaimed materials, livestock, and the soft rolling prairies found in the rural. Working with animals has allowed me to get back in touch with simple movements and nonverbal communication. Allowing my actions to speak for themselves no matter how simple and subtle.
