My artistic practice explores the intersections of papier-mâché, textiles, puppets, costuming, and addiction. Through sculptural forms, I explore the physical, emotional, and psychological impact of substance use on the individual, family, and community. My work employs a level of dark humour to explore difficult subjects and reflect on how addictive habits shape not only the physical body but also emotional landscapes, perceptions of self, and our place within a society of glamourization and condemnation towards those experiencing addiction. A large part of my practice involves research and exploration of comedy, materiality, and societal criticism, which are transformed and reappropriated in dialogue with my conceptual exploration.
