I intervene on domestic, everyday objects and materials using painterly gestures. I practice locating edges, between the valuable and devalued, image and object, appealing and repellent. Negotiating the slippery demarcation between useful and useless I intuitively deconstruct, layer, and recombine. My primary motivation in the studio is play and often anchors in its capacity for humor and absurdity. Poking, prodding at a disassembled hierarchy, and making materiality visible. Conceived forms are components able to be rearranged within an installation, stand-alone, or repurposed mimicking the enduring lifespan of objects and resistant to an objective conclusion.
