Artist Statement

I make work that explores the intersection of the formal aspects of the media I use and the qualities of the surrounding space. I often use painted and dyed fabrics that function like nets to capture and manipulate light and color. These experiential works are often combined with objects or surfaces that invite viewers to interact with the works in space. My painting process intertwines performance, installation, sculpture, and architecture. It relies on “variable legibilities.” I want my work to have a direct presence, to excite the eye, and to heighten awareness.
