Sculpture, 2006-2013
Tea bags, videocassette tapes, beer cans circa 1959, insects, Roma plastilina, cardboard, egg cartons, pine cones. A few choice objects well-arranged make for clever sculptural work.
The process of molding and sculpting, particularly with non-traditional art media is a challenge and a thrill.

Clothing, 2006-2013.
T-shirts, sweaters, and hoodies. In high school, I began playing with Sharpies to create custom T-shirts using the hard paper backings of cereal boxes to create stencils. Within a few months, I had figured out a way to use acrylic paint to expedite the process and to get more wearable, long-lasting prints. It still took hours upon hours of painstaking labor per clothing item.
I thought that I could maybe pursue and a develop a line of clothing. So, I tried, naming it the "Overcome" brand. These t-shirts carried strong Christian symbolism and were meant to be very limited, custom items. I sold a handful of shirts to friends in high school for $20 a piece. The business model wasn't at all sustainable, as with material costs and labor, I ended up paying myself less than a dollar per hour.
Today, I still make my own customized clothing.
