About you work
Discipline: Multi-disciplinary
Technique: Multi-faceted
Statement:
I employ visual metaphors to distill complexity into simple forms, incorporating various mediums including sculpture, live performance, painting, video and sound. I am intrigued by how the self-imposed restraint to limit information can both guide the creative process and public discourse.
While metaphor is essential in my conception and process, my focus is not primarily on the ideological but on the sensory, aesthetic experience at a primal, physical level. Studio art practice keeps me grounded through the use of formal qualities. My inspirations come from experimenting with various materials that surround me in daily routine.
