Artist Statement

I am not a maker. I am an observer, a collector, an interpreter.

I would like my work to be a finger that points to what normally goes unnoticed.

I would like it to celebrate the things we cannot perceive, the things we know but forget.

I would like it to ask questions, not to provide answers.

I am an artist working primarily in interactive sculpture, installation, and time-based media. I strive to find a balance between a relational art practice that focuses on social interaction, and a studio-based practice that values a well-crafted object. I like to make work that instigates a conversation, either through a dialogical or collaborative production process, or with an interactive object or installation. I often challenge traditional artist/viewer roles by involving the viewer in the creative process and encouraging active participation in the art experience. My work is never made by me alone. Rather, it is like a puzzle that I put together, of which each piece is an opinion, action or idea that has been contributed by another person, possibly even you.
