Throughout my art career I have created objects, installations, and video works. While the medium changes, there is a common theme dealing with social relationships (in a humorous way). I grew up in a suburban development filled with domestic arguments behind closed doors and fake smiles in public. This experience taught me at an early age that things are not always as they appear, and this dichotomy definitely informs my work today.

I am particularly interested in the physical space of home, the objects we choose to decorate it, and the emotions we associate with it. The work has implied narratives that deal with adult expectations and disappointments, suggesting a “situation” of sorts. It often straddles a line between humor and vulnerability. I am interested in creating works that engage an audience or contain some level of interactivity. I frequently use construction materials and everyday objects such as plywood, carpeting, wallpaper, and coffee mugs. As part of my working process I either use writing as a springboard for my ideas, or I play with a material I am attracted to and work with its inherent associations. I find it both exciting and challenging to use various mediums, always thinking about what would be the most appropriate format for a particular idea.
