My practice involves material and processual research that asks who and what I am with, and where these things come from. I am concerned with how my work emerges in complicated relation to space, history, and other lives, and how to maintain an awareness of these relations. Materially, I work with what I am in close vicinity to in order to develop a dialogue from my current position historically, geographically, and economically. Work ranges from sculptures made with found material, to writing and poetry that begins with transcription of live or recorded voice, to photographs, sound, and video. I am conscious of my position as a maker in a context of excess, and use capitalist culture's flotsam and jetsam to create meaningful work in a radically dependent present.
