I work under the name MM, a self-taught artist whose practice begins with listening. Rather than approaching a piece with a predetermined outcome, I try to work without expectations, allowing the work and the materials at hand to guide me. I respond to what they seem to need in the present moment rather than forcing them toward an idea of what they should become.

This openness keeps my practice in a constant state of exploration. Most recently, that exploration has led me into woodworking and constructed forms, expanding the ways I think about material, space, and structure.

My work explores the relationship between consciousness, emotion, movement, and the things we experience but cannot always see.
