Biography
The twenty-first century is abundant with images void of meaning. As technology percolates to infest every part of our lives, we are washed with the reproductions of mass culture, confusing experiences with image as art. Instead, we have experiences of facsimiles. Things are rarely what they seem to be. With each effort to simplify and supplement our lives with technology, we, in fact, create its opposite. My work lends itself to the idea that complexity is often surface deep; the true nature of things is remarkably simple and is most profound when given the space to experience it.
My current body of work consists primarily of drawings and objects. Striving for ambiguity of image, I work with the accumulation of marks that vary in size, depth and boundary. Like any language, each mark holds layers of individual identity only to develop meaning by way of the relationships with other marks in its vicinity. In other words: Everything is relative. This is the substrate of my work.
