I invoke the body both literally and through objects as a method of reconciling the human form with the world in which it lives. I use my own body and its image because it is the position from which I look out into the world, and it is the object through which I navigate my place in the world. In the end, my body is the only thing that I truly know.

Through painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, performance and writing I seek to understand not only my own experience, but also more importantly, how society perceives and understands its human form. My work mediates our intimate interaction with our bodies. It contains objects that stand in for, document, or otherwise define the body within our culture. Impermanence is often emphasized, as the body inhabits the realm of temporality.

Mortality is something we face as we age. I look at what passes away or what we must let go of. Like a forensic scientist, I explore the evidence, traces, marks, and impressions, residue of the body, proof that I was here, in this body, and at this time as a way of exploring fundamental themes of human existence.
