In my work with means both formal and familiar, the synthetic and the natural, I am exploring the boundaries and intersection between destruction, creation, transition and transformation.
The impulse I have is to build, deconstruct and reconstruct. This organic process guides the play of chance and control, composing and improvising.
I employ materials and tools in two ways: using their inherent characteristics, and also in ways that detour and extend from their original purpose. With invasive techniques such as burning, perforating and blading, I obliterate while simultaneously creating.
My ongoing installations are often rooted in the exploration of physicality and immateriality. They consist of fragments made in the studio, created site-specific for exhibition.
Through my meditation and deliberation on chance, control and uncertainty, my work is also further stretched by paradox: empty/full, conceal/reveal, shadow/light, rupture/repair, fracture/whole, static/movement.
