I explore the beauty and meaning of aging through the deconstruction and repurposing of vintage materials. I’m drawn to combining disparate elements that ask the viewer to conjure meaning. I love the materials I work with—the writings in languages I can’t understand, physics equations, the faded color and feel of old linen book covers, and the visual disruption of an altered photograph. I love the honest beauty of mold, rust and wrinkles; most of all, I love the texture of imperfection.

My bodies of work include small collages, assemblage, large paintings, altered photographic pieces and large structures that I have installed at Burning Man. I strive for the work to create an emotional connection with the viewer while remaining open for personal interpretation.
