Artist Statement
Through my work, I look at language and meaning, using them
to engage the idea of the body. My work then forms as a kind of
inarticulate holding.
I like police dramas, particularly psychological ones, in which
evidence must be pieced together to solve the case. Even when
the case is not solved, I am interested in the quest for knowledge
and the questioning it requires.
Rather than seeing the idea of practice as repetition, I think of
it as seriality. According to this concept, things are enacted from
the same starting point, but each time lead to a slightly different
result. In A Wild Patience, Zoe Leonard describes Agnes Martin’s
work in this way: “The starting impulse, or genesis of the gesture,
is the same, but as it travels through the material world it is
altered, rendered specific and particular.”
