My work is inspired by concerns I have with contemporary society. I address the modern food and agricultural system in the United States, exploring subjects such as factory farming and genetic modification.  My goal is to create a space where a conversation on the controversial topic of industrial agriculture can take place.

Inspired by William Kentridge, my charcoal animations focus on the scenery of my home, the Midwest.
