STATEMENT
Art making is a process through which I engage with boundaries, rules and expectations set by a culmination of human experience and human expertise. I use art making as a process to press against the physical and metaphysical structures that define my world. While I recognize that structure is ultimately good and necessary, art making is my vehicle for exploration, it is a way to navigate through these boundaries to find which rules best govern me. I fight from within the systems of my world, because I am the system. I force myself to take a side, not always because I agree, but because it helps me understand. Choosing a side forces me to become intellectually and emotionally invested. Art making thus becomes a process of letting go of conformity and questioning values.
