Statement & CV

I catalog and work with observed everyday moments: phenomena I encounter while running errands, at work, or while traveling. They come in an infinite variety of forms, but all of them consist of a set of conditions that align only briefly with me. Every moment I witness is outrageously steeped in meaning, and feeds into work that includes photos, videos, drawings, glasswork, and sculptural installations. 

What and how I collect is not an exact science, and the moments function a little like weather. Much like the wind, they are hard to predict or anticipate. And much like the wind, the invisible mass of variables leading to each moment is impossible to locate, but for the things being affected by them. Wind occurs at a cosmic, unfathomable scale while simultaneously passing through our fingertips, as does each moment I attend to. My work is about the impossibility of ever having the whole picture but embracing that fact wholeheartedly. It’s about finding bits of clarity and meaning in the density around us by making connections accessible and relatable.
