INFORMATION:

ARtist StateMEnt:

I create narratives through conceptual arrangements. My artwork contextualizes the mundane experiences found in our current and future landscapes. Through this exploration, I find stories in items of commodity and I use that discovered information to transcend the everyday. My work starts from a genuine place of personal questioning and reflection, overtime that grows to interrogate and incorporate themes often tied to industrial and environmental symptoms. I create art to highlight paradoxes in manicured climates and form observations around the familiar for the human condition and our environments.
