Artist Statement:
My practice is concerned with notions of social entanglement, digital assertion, and transcendence. My work explores how these phenomena are both embedded within, and created by, popular and visual culture, media, and myth.
To this end I incorporate original photography, found images and video, with installation. I’m equally dedicated to photographic and research based field work, and to sifting through digital archives, and I have a keen sense for pulling at threads in order to recontextualize the implied and implicit meaning of images. It has been said of my work that, like a magic trick, the viewer is never really looking at the right thing.
Parallel to this, my curatorial and speaking practice is deeply committed to fostering conversations that breaks out of our creative comfort zones.
