SOMETHINGS

I create sculptural assemblages from discarded, mass-produced objects—faucet knobs, drawer pulls, trophies, and toys—collected from thrift stores and secondhand spaces. These fragments of everyday life, caught between function and obsolescence, are reconfigured into tangled armatures and encased in machine-knitted elastic membranes. The textile skin veils and distorts the hard structures beneath, forming topographic surfaces that shift with perspective. Through this interplay of softness and rigidity, familiarity and abstraction, I investigate the transformation of objects into Somethings—forms that challenge our sense of depth, scale, and containment. This process redirects post-consumer waste and positions textile as a critical sculptural material, asking us to reconsider our relationships to material excess, disposability, and the strange afterlives of the things we leave behind.
