I want to bring the everyday into visibility, and for the viewer to pay attention to things that they frequently ignore. I aim to capture the humorous and/or poetic material moment between objects, exploring notions of absurdity, functionality, displacement, and communication, or lack thereof. I am interested in the transferral of information between the work and the viewer, how they interact or experience it and how they can become the catalyst to a works completion.

The work is generated through the appliance of pesuo-scientific investigations and experiementation; I am continually tinkering with things, playing with objects, spending time with them until ideas about a work evolve and I find a resolution. This process by which I make the work is an integral part of the work itself.  It is this method of not quite knowing how things are going to turn out that I find exciting.
