Having earned a BFA in painting from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa in 2002, he moved to New York for graduate studies at Parsons School of Design, where he completed an MFA in 2015. Much of his early work includes sculpture and installations with melted and repurposed plastics, whose color and sheen remain in the finished work. More recent installations include rocks made from fusions of beach plastic, cigarette butts, cardboard, plastic shopping bags, Styrofoam, and other trash materials, inspired by “plastiglomerate,” an anthropogenic stone that geologists identify as a by-product of human pollution. | Fall 30(2) Articles Whose Paradise?
