Artist Statement
My sculptural practice is informed by a background in photography, and in this, the productive tensions that lie in translation between image and object. The forms that I investigate and the often diverse composition of materials, symbols, and processes that my carvings, composites, and steel assemblage works possess question paradigmatic methods of looking, seeing, and recording. I’m concerned with investigating the photograph’s ever-shifting relationship to spatial politics which include scale, location, and proximity as opposed to questions regarding content, representation, or authorship. I look toward the built environment to investigate visual languages latent and implicit within the public and private frame that shape personal and collective experience in surprising ways.
