My drawing practice is the catalyst for overlapping bodies of work that include site-specific installations, photos, paintings and sculptures. I work largely through trial and error and experiment; this is to say that ideas and concepts reveal themselves in the process of making.
I explore the boundary between perception and knowledge. I respond to overlooked architectural elements like tiled walls and trim, or simple structures like graph paper pages that denote certainty and order. I am interested in the subversive act: tape passes for grout, subjects are replaced with photos. I make graph paper with imbedded line drawings, or completely recreate graph paper using an obliquitous process in which lines are woven together in a non-mechanical fashion, or where deviations in scale occur.
My intention is to invite an active aesthetic reading that questions rather than a passive gaze that accepts.
