Artist Statement: My work functions, in the simplest of ways, as a living response to the world around me. I have always used the process of art making as a way to distill the complexities of my life & world, to enable me to make better sense of my existence, & to claim that existence as fact & as an acceptable way of living. I find & isolate particular thoughts & moments to address them in their most basic form, while simultaneously elevating their importance in the overall scope of my life. I do this in an effort to memorialize actual events & to re-use them as tactical documents in an effort to undermine the status quo. These manners & methods of working stem from issues dealing with implied expectations, normality, categorization, & behavior. Because of the universality of my work process, the end result of my practice is inherently about me, my family life, my practice as an artist, & other scenarios that unfold on a daily basis. My goal is to systematically use the results of those issues & moments as a way to subvert & hopefully change the way an individual is perceived & expected to participate in our current time & culture.
