About
I tell people I make paintings and video works. But actually, I make meaning.
My artistic practice revolves around unpacking expectations of art into simpler parts. Then rearranging those parts in different ways to create meaning by imagining other ways of seeing.
My paintings often use representation or copying as a subject to figure out the perimeter of painting and by extension, the different ways concepts, images and language intersect to create meaning.
My videos are a counterpoint to my paintings. Where storytelling and experimentation precedes concepts. My videos always include other people and their concerns, both in the making and in their presentation and usually feature imagery and themes of work and a sense of place.
Recently, I’ve included writing and exhibition-making in my practice. I’m interested in developing the various formats both as a bridge for communication and collaboration with others.
