"We Oughta Work Our Worth," 2024. Wood, steel, clay, satin, rocks, acrylic paint. An exploration into sculptural comics, I wanted to tell a story of two coal miners on a shift in the mine. They discuss union in hushed tones, in complete darkness, before lighting up a cigarette at the end of the cave. They ask themselves what they work for, and the cycle begins again.

"Men In Stripes (The Batter)", 2024. Steel, wood, dirt, chain. Sports toe a fine line between freedom and imprisonment. With baseman dungeons, batting cages, and umpires as wardens, baseball seems to be built for torture. But, America’s favorite pastime brought joy to the prisoners at the Wyoming State Penitentiary. In 1912, the prison created a baseball team for its best behaved players, to keep them in shape, to boost morale, and to bring more money into the prison through spectacle, known now as the “Death Row All Stars”. These two companion pieces, displayed 60ft from each other, ask if the prisoners given freedom, celebrated for their athletic prowess, or were they shackled pawns in a game they never had control of?
