Artist Statement:
My work as a body dissects the
hidden psychological
dimensions in relationships
all humans encounter. I employ
both psychology books and
topographical maps as my
source material, figures, and
surrounding details in order
to create a sense of shared
distance. My color schemes,
including many pinks and
bright colors, are often
reminiscent of pop culture as
well as biological diagrams.
The Dadaists are a great
influence on my work, as they
strove to depict a chaotic
world through collage and
assemblage often involving
text and typographic forms.
Dada artists also embraced
psychology as a means of
producing and interpreting
subjects. The surrealists,
another influence, further
explored psychology and
created uncanny worlds for
viewers to participate in.
Contemporary artists who
influence my work include
installation artists Christo
and Judy Pfaff, printmaker
Susan Sensemann, and print
installation artists Swoon,
John Armleder, and Nicola
Lopez. These artists have
amazing abilities for
interpreting spaces and
forcing viewers to experience
very particular strange
sensations when encountering a
piece.
An individual piece or
grouping is installed as an
intuitive reaction to a
specific environment using
biological features as
references. Each work
confronts the viewer with a
sense of claustrophobia.
Viewers may ruminate over the
hidden intricacies ...
