SELECTED WORKS

My background in sociology informs my art practice both in terms of the strategies employed—decontextualization, isolation, juxtaposition—and the realm of investigation: how we decipher the information that surrounds us and create meaning.

My inspiration is in the everyday. I work through association and I use drawing, photography, and writing, to create works that assert the ambiguity of language—visual and written—and that explore representation and identity as constructions and on-going processes.

    A house carved out of Styrofoam, precut pieces of wood assembled in what look like small planes, clay molded in the shape of stones, these shapes are isolated on a white background and photographed. The black-and-white photographs are often mistaken for drawings, the grain of the gelatin-silver print being perceived as graphite.
