I don’t feel the need to work in a single medium. The ones I primarily use are chosen because I find their possibilities (and limitations) intriguing, and they are financially accessible.  I find myself really excited by the fact that all mediums are imbued with different societal associations through their use by people in contemporary culture and throughout the history of Western art.

A lot of my work deals with human beings and their interaction with immediate environments.  I found, while obtaining a B.A. in sociology, that ethnographies, field recordings, and academic writings weren’t enough to encapsulate the way that I wanted to convey my investigation of human interaction and behavior.  Visual imagery allows for a much less precise but, in my belief, more thorough and evocative explanation of the latter.

I really like using quotidian references throughout my work because I believe it’s the simple and sometimes tacit everyday experience that is more telling about the human experience than cataclysmic events. If not more telling, then, at least due to their frequency, they offer more opportunities for exploration.
