ATLANTA

I cut and assemble paper clippings, paying attention to what forms emerge as the materials move through the process.

The paper I use comes from leftover or discarded magazines (scrap cuttings, remnants). I’m interested in the lack of pressure we put on what is leftover. Once a project is complete, the rules loosen. Decisions become less precious, and accidents are allowed to happen.

I’m particularly interested in the moment a fragment falls, shifts, or lands when discarded. The resulting arrangements are not entirely composed but discovered. My role is to notice and preserve these temporary forms before they disappear.

My work explores a type of freedom that emerges once something has fulfilled its original purpose. It is an effort to move beyond algorithm and pattern, into a space where materials reveal themselves more honestly.
