The First Postulate
Inaugural exhibition of Theorii Contemporary Art Space. This solo exhibition explores ideas about relationships, systems, and cultural dynamics via languages of form and geometry. Throughout the show there are overtones that reflect the socio-political climate of the early COVID 19 pandemic.

Jingdezhen Ceramics University Residency
While an artist in residence at JCU (located in Jingdezhen, the porcelain capitol of China) I utilized the rich resources this city has to offer. This work includes explorations in mold making, constructing 3-dimensional paintings on factory-produced tiles, and material experimentation with the unique capabilities of Chinese porcelain.
Subtle Surrender
I was invited to be a visiting artist at the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing for the Spring semester of 2019. During this time I traveled with a group of students to Jingdezhen and worked in a studio in the Sculpture Factory there to make this body of work for a solo show at Taoxichuan International Art Avenue. The work explores themes of nature, the body, desire, and medidation.
Ecstatic Static
This solo exhibition held at the Belfry (formerly a Catholic Cathedral in Hornell, NY) looks at how human inventions such as technology can be both destructive and also revealing of aspects of nature and the sacred. The language of pixilation, material 'static', and metallic details brings the context of the digital age to the ritual and bodily qualities of the sculptural forms.
2018
The Regular Unnamables (MFA Thesis)
My MFA thesis exhibition from Alfred University's Turner Gallery is a culmination of my research and studio practice during graduate school. Themes of symmetry, gardens, the body, and micro/macro scale are used to address systems by which we name and categorize things that are beyond understanding.
