Statement

My artist statement is a crayon...my art materializes temporal moments, language, fractured realities and the curious imagination. Paintings incorporate words and often reflect on social tropes or shifts in perception, revealing gray areas between consciousness and memory. An image of trompe l'oeil periodically challenges the viewer's perception of real-life and illusion. I am interested in motif, chance and the idea of pentimento. ---- Social projects suggest humor and comment on the fetishization of art. Projects often involve a collaboration and engage aspects of social mediums, display, metaphor and semiotic themes. Cross-disciplinary processes and conceptual ideas merge on an experimental axis of creative expression critiquing social, cultural and institutional behavior.
