“My public practice is focused on strategically shifting culture to create the foundations for large-scale policy change, while my private practice is an intimate act of alchemy. It’s here, in the hand creation of one-of-a-kind objects, that I bring artworks into the world intended to be used as a tool for manifestation.”
