Object Label:
Show Object Label(s)The content of my work reflects my own childhood
narrative and its metaphorical relationship with
the story of the growth of America as a nation.
Physically, the work is process-driven, and
involves a mixture of many artistic disciplines:
drawing, painting, sculpture, paper-craft, theatre
lighting, and photography.
I work only from my memory, which is in a
constant state of flux. The status of particular
memories is altered by every new experience,
to the point where even the mundane can be
reformed into the epic.
All of my work is made with the intention to
examine what remains of the actual, reveal the
process of alteration, and explore the possibilities
of the fantastic.
Every remembrance is a reinvention, and reality is
not fixed, but in process.
