ARTIST STATEMENT
Through intricate beadwork, I induce pleasure. Amorphous forms reference animals, pointing to carnal instinct. Pleasure and labor can be in opposition, in this work they are one.

Historically, beads represent commitments, beliefs and principles. Each hand-formed bead is charged with touch and serves as a quiet act of resistance.
