“Enriches, Beautifies and Protects

Is a concluding body of work from my time as a student within the University of Arkansas’ School of Art. My objects hold reverence for the practices and materials that have littered my life for the past four (and a half) years. The creative processings of a student become the confessions of a degreed maker. Please, stick your nose up to each edge on each object and see what it bears.

Most special thanks to Neil Callander, Jeannie Hulen and Chase Young for their mentorship. It has been tedious, and brief.

(That is to say it has been transformative.)

(And I will miss you all.)”
