New work

The relationship between humans and our constructs is one which centrally drives these images. This work deals with scale, a recurring interest within my personal creative processes. I am interested here in what we build, what scale it manifests itself in, and how that affects perspective and power relationships between ourselves and the spaces we artificially create.

Places we go intending to leave:

This body of work explores our relationships to places and spaces to and into which we venture, without the intention of remaining. Core components of this inquiry are temporality, commitment and meaningfulness of experience.

Untitled sculptural installation:

This sculptural exploration in resin and rice deals with concepts of transparency, and social and domestic order. This work is in progress and is intended to manifest in installation form, addressing issues of interior and exterior as well as special organization.

Past work

Toward here:

The division of internal and external is a critical component of the transitional space. This body of work explores these ideas and reflects them aesthetically without narrative, without beginning or end. Images of the road, the transitional nature of the landscape, and the physical division of internal and external space are juxtaposed with sounds of other experiences associated with waiting, traveling, and transitions.
