My creative interests are informed from a variety of sources including biology, industry, networks, systematic progression, crafts, ornament, textiles and drawing. My general aim to synthesize these entities into works that allow for both and internal and external experience psychologically and physically through the delineation of interior and exterior via the permeable membrane. These forms, whether representational or abstract, allude to both logical organization and chaotic systemization through the meticulous fabrication process of combining many small elements together to define the overall larger entity.
My primary body of work Alleviations / Progressions draws upon more formal ideologies of the sculptural object with sub-contextual associations to the craft object, genderification of objects, material transformation, and the passage of time. These works range from medium to large scale and public works that specifically engage human scale relationships.
Odd (@) Culture is an ongoing project initiated in 2005 that developed from a deliberate reaction to the elevated socio-political culture war in the U.S. post 2001. Conceptually, the aim of this work is to question the American identity as it pertains to both domestic and international perceptions of class, politics and belief systems.
