“My work uses formal properties to visualize spatial relationships between color, shape and form. Working in various modes including drawing, painting, video, sculpture, and installation, found objects, fabrics, plaster, and paint are common materials within the work. Mass produced objects and their waste materials are sought out for formal value, leaving behind utilitarian function to focus on tactile and visual qualities. Pattern, color, and shapes intertwine in an often cyclical and loosely systematic way.”

" In each of these works, I can’t help but sense a flightiness, a pliability of form. When artists transform materials, they change what those materials do. These materials perform a physical purpose, but through becoming artworks, they also serve a unified material and conceptual destiny."
