Much of my expression in visual language comes from a curiosity in history, particularly the history of artifacts and images that deal with the body and a relationship to the built environment. Through the interpretations of “things” removed from their natural "points of origin”; the consideration of “place” has led me to explore objects and materials rooted in ideas of nature, displacement, and self-reflection.

In gesture, form, and structure, my artwork often responds to the space it interacts. Liminal traces, haptic impressions, and impermanent structures are reflected in the aesthetic. A work’s visual repetition and variation reveals its sense of touch and material play — an inexactness of what it was, or meant to be.

Through mixed media, lithography print, drawing, sculpture-installation, and photography, the exhibition Sometimes Still Life, 2018, depicts visual interpretations of fragmented objects, while also making reference to the floral Super Bloom. These works are a result of experiencing the physical and temporal characteristics of artifacts and material removed from intended structures and cycles they once belonged.

Representations of artifact and landscape, and the interpreted concepts of the ruin and still life represent an unfinished, undecided state — a suggestive moment where life lies still sometimes.
