“The essential questions I work with are meditations on the Nature of Desire, or what moves a Body? I create art to consider aesthetic experience as a forum for conversations about the relationship between Vision and the Body. Quietness, nature and slowness are continual focal points through images and installation, drawing, video, fiber work, writing  and performance.

I have grown increasingly interested in the literal and material ways language and electronic data traffic are visually constructed, and the relationship these changes have with human bodies. The human experience can be said to have three primary arenas-cognition, perception and emotion. Cognition has led at the forefront, with perception gaining interest, and emotion least acknowledged and often subject to pathologization. I seek to balance this spectrum of cognition, perception and emotion through the artwork I make centered on the felt senses. These art are not about my own emotion or feeling persay, but rather meditations on the senses themselves.”
