"Although I’m developing my craft, I’d say more of my work is mental. I’m becoming less tied to the outcome and more to the process."
— On Finding Your Path
Building community with public art since 2023
Under the moniker, The Salvage Yard, I co-lead two projects that were temporary installed at the Fischer Pavillion in Seattle, WA and Burning Man in Black Rock City, NV. Putting my time and creative energy into these intensive projects is how I give back.
Support our next project
We created these stickers, patches, and accessories to help fund our 2024 installation, The (Re)Salvaged Spoon. All purchases will now help us create our 2025 installation, Cup Commune, coming to Burning Man this August.
