Artist Statement
I'm attracted to sequences of events, images, words; how one thing interacts with another and affects the past, present, future.
I'm attentive to the delicate interplay of everyday occurrences, the banal; I look for meaning in meaningless things, and in turn, make them special.
I'm curious how seemingly unrelated events are connected in space and time through whimsicality, stress, contrast; how through these mechanisms a balance may be achieved.
I'm interested in subtly transmuting our normal sense of reality to one that exists as a fluid experience in time as opposed to a static point.
