I am a conceptual artist exploring contemporary American culture
and life. I create a space through paintings, installations, and
sculptures to express, honor, or challenge aspects of our “American
experiment.” The projects come from research, observations,
media, and conversations about everyday life about myths,
traditions, cultural enigmas, obsessions, and reflections, creating a
visual narrative and relationship between material and people. Each
work is given the space to define itself by rejecting “traditional”
methods, materials, and notions of conventional art. By combining
or using materials that ordinarily have no relationship to one another
like, pouring paint and hanging it, I am forced to find a harmonious
dialog between material, form, idea, and the viewer that is
interesting or humorous.
