Artist Statement

I consider art making to be problem solving. Typically, I identify an idea or issue and then figure out the best way to address the topic. The memories and materials I employ are excavated from my life and surroundings including everything from a family member’s dentures to a walk through an amusement park. My aim as an artist is to reframe, recontextualize, and respond to human experiences and inconspicuous moments in an honest fashion. My projects are conceptually driven and I utilize the media that is most appropriate for conveying my concepts. Recent works have included sculptures, installations, photographs, video, paintings and drawings.
