Artist Statement
Awaken your senses. Dark soil
wrapped in white sheets,
bricks suspended in air by
delicate sheer ribbon, a
red-feathered pillow fight in
a white room, and gallons of
water contained in the holes
of giant inner tubes. I
expose the buried memories
that everyday objects hold. I
invite you to feel the
materials: stick your hands
into water, walk barefoot on
pillows, feel the slight roll
of freshly-cut sugar cane
underneath your feet; smell
the feathers, the soil, the
cane; and hear the sound of a
beating heart or water
lapping. In the
transformation of these
spaces, I create experiences.
I have a passion for the
grandiose, the dramatic, and
the theatrical. I expose
viewers to rituals, collective
memories, and metaphors. But
like memories, these
experiences will not last.
Installations are ephemeral;
after they are de-installed
all that remains are memories,
documentation, and artifacts.
From bricks to pillows, I want
to create an unforgettable
experience.
