ARTIST STATEMENT

THROUGH MY WORK ON PAPER, FILMS AND INSTALLATIONS I AM CONSIDERING IDENTITY, DESIRE AND THE MYSTERY OF HUMAN LIMITATIONS. I AM FASCINATED WITH THE WAYS IN WHICH WE SYSTEMATIZE OUR EXPERIENCE OF THE WORLD; FINDING OR CREATING ORDER, DESCRIBING THE BORDERS OF OUR KNOWLEDGE AND FABRICATING VISIONS OF WHAT MAY LIE BEYOND THEM. FURTHERMORE, I ENJOY EXPLORING THE WAYS IN WHICH THESE DEEPLY FALLIBLE ARRANGEMENTS AND THE UNIFYING FACT OF DEATH ALLOW US TO CREATE AND PROJECT OUR SENSE OF IDENTITY. MY WORK INVESTIGATES THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CONCOCT AND INHABIT COMPLEX AND OFTEN CONTRADICTORY SYSTEMS OF SIGNIFIERS IN THE HOPES OF FINDING MEANING AND INTERPERSONAL CONNECTION. I HOPE TO DRAW FOCUS TOWARD THE WAYS IN WHICH WE INTERFACE WITH THAT WHICH IS UNKNOWABLE, EVEN WITHIN THE FAMILIAR.
