WestArtist Statement
Born to itinerant cultural anthropologists, I channel an insatiable curiosity about people’s motives and experiences to connect my work to communities. My interest in public art makes abandoned spaces my favorite canvas. No matter the medium, context, or scale, I interweave my work with conversation and contradictory points of view to open up discourse.
My ability to rationalize a spectrum of views within a visual balance infuses unexpected meaning into my work, and reveals that there is something very right about disagreement, something more authentic than truth.
