mind the gap

My work is about the gap between what is experienced directly through our senses and the conceptualization of those same experiences. I mine my meditations and backyard for raw materials, examining the bones of what I perceive and why. Each installation is composed of light as a primary medium. I also frequently use indexical traces including mortar casts, found plants, photographs, and drawing. Each installation is sourced from a particular place and time, foregrounding the unstable relationships through which meaning is constructed.
