My life, my breath, has been forced into balloons that will eventually seep from or explode out of, but, in the present, at least in this image, are full of breath and movement for viewers to explore. The expiration of breath blurs into the expiration of life within the bounds of latex confines. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399404476864-H7Y2XY1JY5DCMKTBDN8Z/balloonbook2.jpg PAST WORK - 14,400 Breaths Latex, Breath 14,400 Breaths illustrates the number of breaths I would personally take during a day of rest. 14,400 becomes the literal process of capturing concretely my own respiration to make manifest the idea of a day that did not exist.

The fat was placed on the ground through a performative act of temporarily ingesting Crisco and spitting or kissing it onto the ground. My spit and fat pilled onto and into itself through a process of abjection. The leaky nature of the bags references the temporary qualities of my own physical body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399404579059-795N3SKP2EPBGC0D3WC2/cover+-+resize.jpg PAST WORK - Cover Bed sheet, Paraffin Wax To capture a moment in time, or maybe more so an idea of a moment, I contained a body in my bed sheet. The wax holds the moment as a reference to an intimacy between bodies or persons that no longer exists. The body sighs as heat and time force the form to collapse, later only remaining as a sunken shell of its previous form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399404588684-DC9MO2K10A1590TO9T91/index-Cast+Off.jpg PAST WORK - Cast Off Bed Sheet, Paraffin Wax This sheet documents a moment after it has passed, instead of striving to hold it. For this reason this sheet does not expire, instead it remains seemingly rigid. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399408071835-IF1TL7K6I8P59SOCQXL6/Power+Hour+resize.jpg PAST WORK - Power Hour Performance Document In response to the untimely death of my student from an overconsumption of alcohol, I created a memorial performance displaying my conflicted conscience of indulging in actions that certainly harm me. Similar to the popular drinking game, Power Hour documented my exorbitant intake - I drank a shot of beer every minute on the minute for an hour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399408081185-VUDCH5M99JM5M5PMTZE5/dig+performance+iamge.jpg PAST WORK - Dig Performance Document In order to physically feel the labor of loss through action, I dug a large square in the earth. This action, similar to many mourning acts, was performed privately. The violence of forcing myself so deep into the earth surprised and distressed me. I filled the hole only after the mass of ground water forced me to finish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399409083760-Q41OUA3BW0TMNYCN0Q9L/image-asset.jpeg PAST WORK - Dig Video As a type of document to the performative action where I dug an abstracted form of my grave, I looped the sounds of my digging with a small clip of the grave after I refilled it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399408106414-D3CHWIDQH9DULEGCCDHF/One+Hour+Brush.png PAST WORK - One-Hour Brush Video Still Considering the banality of daily tasks, I amplified a moment beyond itself, into something else altogether, something longer. Brushing my teeth for an hour, I documented my extension - moving between the ease of normalcy, into something more uncomfortable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399408087830-4WGNWQ2ZR5N8UUW41IQ6/voyeuristiccontainmenttest.jpg PAST WORK - Voyeuristic Containment Performance Document With no windows in or out, I lived on display, with peep-holes for viewing, for a continuous 100-hours; existing somewhere between solitary confinement and a peepshow. Stemming from both Michelle Foucault’s Discipline and Punish and Laura Mulvey’s Visual Pleasure in Narrative Cinema, I embodied “to-be-looked-at-ness” while living inside of a panopticon - existing both as the guard and the prisoner of my personal display cage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1410895319753-VKKW9125OUFB7AXH827Y/bbb.jpg PAST WORK - Basket Burning Performance Document I created a basket for burning in Whatcom Creek as a process of catharsis. In the middle of November I dressed in white and entered the creek with a flaming vessel. The basket laid on my belly, smoking in burning while I floated in the moving water. After a time, I submerged myself and the basket fire went out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1420317398189-7YG5HRV62VR0K8XKFMHB/image-asset.jpeg PAST WORK - Bus Ticket Collected Bus Tickets, Glue 19" x 19" After getting lost on a bus that deviated from it's route, I felt it necessary to document my movements across Mexico. I used physical bus tokens to record the physical minutiae of everyday existence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399574039922-K49XX67HS8DSM546NHTN/PERHAPS.jpg PAST WORK - Unimpeachable Statement Mylar Balloon Letters In reference to A.J. Ayer's philosophies on language and truth, I attempted to create an unimpeachable statement residing within the confines of language. There are, in his beliefs, literary no statements invulnerable to a rational doubt, and yet these weighted balloons attempt to find something close. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399574149243-S357NB2XGJG0963K13PM/MEXICANOS2.jpg PAST WORK - Metal Measure of the Lovers 17.47 lbs. of Washers, Thread, Glue To discover the physical weight of five lovers, I measured an average of the weight of metal in four bodies plus my own. These metal washers are suspended at heart height in a floating form. This installation is displayed in a sunroom with three glass walls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399574080569-BTZUMP39DOC7Z1CMZVON/MEXICANOS.jpg PAST WORK - Metal Measure of the Lovers 17.47 lbs. of Washers, Thread, Glue [Detail]   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399574159389-5L4JCN5ZCIBKEWVLIA9D/MEXICANOS3.jpg PAST WORK - Metal Measure of the Lovers 17.47 lbs. of Washers, Thread, Glue [Detail] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399574319684-S2UIXI1RTFUX7RKODXQ1/photo+%281%29.JPG PAST WORK - Deflated Statement Mylar Balloons After creating the Unimpeachable Statement, it was inevitable that the lofty concept must be punctured, the Deflated Statement displays the remains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399407942802-I6XG4UAIURZ5GUGP5A7R/HABLARAN.jpg PAST WORK - Hablaban Paper Mache, Tin Foil, Tape After living in Mexico, not fully understanding Spanish, I returned to the States fascinated with miscommunication. Spanish for "They spoke," the objects in this piece are jumbled just like my comprehension.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1399415371868-Y7UTR1ANZ8JFD82VRCY4/Oil+Cans.jpg PAST WORK - Oil Cans Oil Cans, Water, Food Coloring While researching the 921 earthquake in Taiwan, I came across the story of a foundational collapse caused by the use of oil cans as filler material in the building structure. Displayed in a grid, like a city, the cans evoke the toxic horror of the loss of life in Taiwan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1419706381993-W4CXJVHVFGLPRAGXU3W8/image-asset.jpeg PAST WORK - Gravel Field Plaster 6' x 6' x 1" Gravel Field is made from thirteen pieces of gravel, cast then carved into thousands of individual, delicate forms. Multiplied white plaster bits combine into one large, easily crushed field of gravel. Instead of a functional patch, the cast rocks became vulnerable objects.

algorithmic translation programs take language out of context, stripping it of interpersonal significance. Language in this form becomes pared down, coded, and basic -- like the marks in my drawings. Piece by piece, this drawing is built from simple marks or everyday objects, exploring language and my own mistakes therein. I employ images of the 1999 Taiwan earthquake, coupled with government texts describing the quake as titles of works, to direct viewers to the language of my media and the abstraction of structural failures through markings -- and interruptions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1646494002509-SY2KERAPS7MWL2W6SA27/921drawing.jpg Select Works on Paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1642884228113-XD0IKBG56W22VX5YPM10/klemens_horse.jpg Select Works on Paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1642884977116-NW3DPIYYA2HQ7C8SX30S/dancinghorse_klemens.jpg Select Works on Paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1642884191203-KMR1341BTXD9CF0OOF5W/klemens_rosemarysbaby.jpg Select Works on Paper http://www.mariahtateklemens.com/sculpture daily 0.75 2025-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1587168887974-C1SKP9L9IYWZHK2RZ3GZ/DSC_9451.jpg OBJECTS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1587168887974-C1SKP9L9IYWZHK2RZ3GZ/DSC_9451.jpg OBJECTS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1602193669524-L3UK5BBJXPJEJU1QVJVX/Klemens__7.jpg OBJECTS - Finger Licker 7.5” x 10” x 1.5” Canvas, Acrylic, Thread Another object of desire for Miss Piggy is flamin’ hot junk food.

An independent declaration of loneliness, "I FEEL SO LONELY WITHOUT YOU" can never escape it's own state of being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1492721336255-H0BB3SE4GPJT9RH2ICI7/Icandressinsatinside.jpg OBJECTS - I Think I Need A New Heart https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1511795425225-83RIK9PQ7VNJLBXCN917/salted+gutter.jpg OBJECTS - I'm The Only One https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536935b8e4b0ca6c5a20d4f3/1511796633577-F4UU28DY4Z5IAA0YLQMI/tiles.jpg OBJECTS - I Couldn't Feel Better A cast plaster floor with text carved into the tile pattern.
