Three-dimensional, Installation and Site-Based Works
My conceptual sculptures and installations are concerned with interpersonal ethics, the dynamics that operate in social sites, and a greater awareness of our spatial, temporal and emotional realities.

Formally, I am often drawn to simple, vernacular materials while seeking to deploy them in surprising and poetic ways.

In all of my sculptural work, whether based in objects, installation, language or performance, I am engaging with site and space as materials.

My work also queries how an audience becomes a community, and whether shared social engagement might become more animated, channeled and wielded through art.

I want to hone a praxis of strategic interconnectedness. I am studying the spatial dimensions of light, the personal and cultural meaning embodied in materials and place, the political challenge of indeterminacy, the spiritual value of uncertainty.

I hope that this work constitutes critical yet visceral sculpture that is intimately compelling.
