artist statement
I am an interdisciplinary artist who links art and life together and therefore motivated by my everyday surroundings.
The scope of my subjects is diverse as I take up a digital camera or camcorder as a tool in pursuit of a diverse range of artistic experiments that intersect with the realms of photography, video, installation, sound and performance.
My process deals with and of and about society, community and the individual and the sense of the fragmentary, ambiguous and the uncertain nature of living.
I frame these explorations critiquing the tradition of self-portraiture, the body, landscape and sometimes photography's relationship to painting.
Equally enamored with tattoo culture, new age and campy costume drama, I construct intersections of reality that openly collect and reassemble our collective image-repertoire while sometimes touching on the sublime.
My work is a frozen instant of isolation, a constructed world of popular culture. As disruptions of postmodern composition, they inhabit skewed perspectives that reveal one's relationship to reality has been transformed by the numerous ways in which images are now constructed.
