Artist Statement
My work derives from voyeurism, film noir, and geographical and architectural location. Within this idea of location, themes develop of a particular locale’s inhabitants: Who are these people? What do they do and why do they do it? These questions transport observation into the realm of storytelling, and as my work evolves, I continue to explore place, people, and culture through the use of scale and repetition of a theme; I create new realities that change with the viewer’s perception.
Process Statement
Through video, sound, and manipulation of size, I am not trying to replicate a place; rather I give my impression of a place, its people and their experience, and allow the viewer to extrapolate his or her own meaning.
At the core of my work resides the intersection of place and experience. Ultimately, my personal views come into play, and it is the melding of the known with the unknown, the foreign with the familiar, that fuels my work and creates such a rich experience for the viewer.
