"I’m an installation artist who creates time based, site-specific environments using a variety of materials and technology, such as clay, found objects, recorded sound, video, and light. My installation work is conceptual, I’m interested in expressing ideas and a lot of my work is based in my research of current social, and political issues. I strive to express the ineffable, and to find visual means to communicate concepts and experiences that are verbally elusive. I consider myself a witness and recorder of my time and experiences, both at the personal and societal levels."
