Lavatory Conversation, 2023, oil on linen, 40 x 30 inches

 

My work explores the presence of a body through its interaction with an object. It is a call and response between myself and the subjects, a question of whether an object is defined by its function. I'm making work because I must. I come from a lineage of workers, it's all I know, but creating is what I feel I am supposed to do with my life. So, I create.
