Artist Statement

I am a video installation artist that works on large scale projects that generally take a year to produce. My work is routed in conceptual art that thematically explores identity and individuality. The works often use music as a thematic backbone.

The work questions individuality while presenting a portrait of a person, a group of people, a specific culture or location. I'm interesting in providing the viewer with an immersive expereince that causes them to raise questions. What is it like to be an individual? What is it like to be someone else? Does the identity of a place, person or culture define it?
