Art.                          

My name is AJ West and I am a Fetus.

The fetal stages of life are marked by a period of warm encapsulation. Where you are entirely unformed, fragile in every sense, and your only goal is to grow. The fetal stages of my practice are similarly marked. As I am surrounded by the warmth of community and friends who are in their own exploration period, my art functions as an umbilical cord. It nurtures and connects me to the world. My work is a branching network of exploration and material discovery.
