Whether physically present in my work or creating a sculptural object, the methods I use attempt to capture the immediate in gestures, from a place that I both know and do not know. I experiment with performance, video, photography and collage, often in the same piece.

I like to explore the conflict of beauty and brutality. It’s a subtle dance, turning the knob either to the left or the right. My natural inclination is to do things that are improvisational. To counter this, I’ll occasionally do a piece that’s very controlled and meticulous, involving a high degree of craftsmanship to refresh and regroup. Or I combine both of these approaches together. Most recently, I’ve been focusing on activating the performance in a sculptural object.
