ARTIST STATEMENT

My artwork explores how we measure, categorize, and interpret information. Examining how the world is sensed, remembered, and communicated often reveals paradoxical relationships between language, perception, and experience. When forms and systems fail in spite of (or because of) our efforts to maintain them, we have space to observe the humorous contradictions of desire and persistence.
