/STATEMENT
As an artist I am researching the location of the familiar in a abstract sense. Detail, humor, beauty and lyrical abstraction have been a preoccupation of how I look at objects, such as photography and video. There is a certain pull that I am attracted to, making beautiful objects out of ordinary movements. The art work on this website is funny, impulsive, lonely and spontaneous with influences hinted by the work of Sigmar Polke, Rem Koolhass & Peter Haley.
