Statement | My current studio practice and conceptual themes are based on the process of experimenting with everyday observations and circumstances. Through conducting research with things that I discover and find compelling or out of place, whether it be for their visual or ethereal qualities, I am able to expand my visual dialogue. Some of my more interesting findings include things like viscosity studies, the electrical workings of the brain, my daughter’s saliva clinging to her fingers, theoretical images of how the universe is organized, cross sections of internal combustion engines, and wet or matted stuffed animals. These objects don’t immediately seem connected but the more I study my attachment to these things, the more I see how and why I find them relevant.
