What does it mean to be a human being right now? This question, whether in the context of contemporary communication, work philosophy, or environmental concerns, is the guiding force behind my artwork. I believe that artists have an obligation to respond to the world as it is in the present moment and to contribute to a collective understanding of both the world around us and inside us. As an experiential artist, my art-making process is spontaneous, relying on touch, reaction, and intuition. I experiment with different combinations of materials—from meticulously handmade paints, natural fibers, and storied surfaces to grossly manufactured house paint, plastic bags, and mass-produced media—to discover unusual forms, juxtapositions, and compositions that comment on and consider our peculiar place in human history.
