MORE ABOUT THIS ARTIST
Statement of Work
Artist Statement:
As an artist focusing on place and perspective, I strive to make art that creates an experience. Both viewer and site are vital to my work. Incorporated are the materials that best portray concepts addressing illusions of space, weight, time. The integration of site-specific elements while challenging notions of “how we think.” Visual stimulation, interactivity, area, and audience drive the final product. Just as viewer perception informs my work, I simultaneously hope to inspire others through art that generates thought and dialogue while remaining energetic, colorful, and fun.
