I cut paper into intricate worlds tethering conceptual narratives of migration and diaspora across humanity, technology, and nature. Movement is our core instinct. From caves to cities, virtual realms to distant planets, we are always becoming, always in transit. My work asks who are we, what is home, and where do we belong?
In the studio…
I am currently working on a new commission while developing a fresh body of cut paper. Come hang with me!
