Artist Statement

My work is a negotiation between collecting and organizing visual information. The repetition of certain shapes has allowed me to create a specific pictorial language derived from a vocabulary of simple forms. While sources include synthetic industrial materials such as traffic cones or bubble wrap, the removal of these material attributes from their original context is part of my exploration of their factual and fictional qualities. In addition my work relies heavily on the illusion of a system. By using tools such as stencils or collage to create the images, the tension between absence and presence is further explored.
