My creative endeavor is a manifestation of practice, a repeated return to actions of searching, making, and reflecting. The exhibited works become moments of exchange, temporal incarnations and placeholders, emphasizing a provisional language of materials and processes in flux. Courting failure and seeking conditional outcomes within normative constructs, the makeshift confronts accepted structures and logistics, leveraging instability as a condition for change.

Often large and architectural, utilizing rough or raw materials, my works generally operate as sculptural installations, referencing the ever-changing, ubiquitous built environment. Yet my practice courts an absence that exceeds the constructed artifact. Action, effort, and material are employed to surround an emptiness. The relational object-images I create become markers that exist adjacent to the focus of consideration. Thus, the work—my physical labor and inquiry—is not present; only the residue of making can be seen.

The crux of my work is interaction. Several of my large installations directly involve viewers, creating a system where the work is ever-changing through public engagement. Often the sculptures provoke the mischievous need to touch while no one is looking, while at other times they coyly incite the public to engage in an unorchestrated manner, becoming a scaffolding for artistic performance or play. The haptic experience of the work is essential, providing access beyond the visual conversation to emphasize the act of making and the event of engagement
