2006
It is my goal to create work that functions
on multiple levels. This is partly a means for communicating as
broadly as possible, but also the result of conflicting interests
and highly varied influence. Working in video, drawing, sculpture
and installation, my projects involve a mix of humor, the unheroic,
the phenomenal and the contemplative. Investigating visual systems
and patterns in our everyday environment, subject matter in my work
comes from reflections on daily life in relation to current events,
art history, nature, psychological and spiritual states and the
physical world.
An interdisciplinary practice has grown out of continuous
experimentation and a desire to combine conceptual embodiment with
visceral experience. Form and content are of equal importance and
I attempt to bring them together in ways that illuminate or create
logical tension. My work is overtly formal, utilizing optics, compositional
space and presence, but with metaphor, absurdity and political and
cultural critique at its core.
