Statement
Through a process of play and direct engagement with my environment, I find inspiration in objects, materials, people, and places that exist at the nexus between nature and society, reality and virtual reality, the past and the present, fact and fiction. My work challenges the systems, institutions, and social paradigms woven into society, and maybe defines how we so often forget or fail to engage with the world in meaningful ways.
