Artist statement

The work I make establishes, exposes, & traverses boundaries, which are often overlooked. I am constantly seeking out found situations that possess an inherent psychological complexity. By working in this way I am able to release total control & navigate the world in an intuitive manner. I enjoy the aesthetics of found situations, not controlled environments. My work relies on the viewer to project their multimodal experiences onto a scene or portrait. My scenes are intentionally depopulated so that absence may become the subject matter. My portraits are open ended conversations between the viewer & the sitter.
