I think of my work as a process of weirding space, of challenging our predominant modes of encounter. I am interested in our interactions with the natural world and in our ephemeral moments: time spent in transit, discarded trash, carelessly-made marks. Such activities are among our most mundane and damaging, but also among our most human.
My use of a wide range of media seeks to give voice to the collective separateness of contemporary existence. Flashing neon, video, sculpture, and performance invoke the normalized loneliness of modern life and ask us to reconsider the tenuous nature of interpersonal connections.
Ultimately, I resist the brutality of the mundane and instead lay claim to the value of the natural environment, the power of lyricism, and the need for quiet. Co-opting, destabilizing, opposing, holding forth, building small fires of meaning and protest in the cracks—this is what I want my work to achieve.
