I make small, heavy paintings with water and earth, spaces to think about memory, image, and the systems that store and transform them.

In 2017, I graduated “qualified without quantification” from Funen Art Academy in Denmark.

I chose to attend Funen Art Academy for its international, relational, and self-organized structure, drawn there in part by reading Self-Organised, the anthology co-edited by the academy's rector, Stine Hebert. Soon after my arrival in 2014, the school came under serious political pressure. A rightward shift in Danish governance, new immigration policies, and a municipal push to absorb the academy into the University of Southern Denmark led to Hebert's resignation and the departure of international faculty. Much of my time there was spent navigating this dissolution with my cohort, advocating for transparency and negotiating what it meant to belong. My graduate years became a lived experience of exactly what the essays in Self-Organised had theorized: what happens when self-organization is threatened with absorption into administrative legibility.
