Recent Work – 2014
“Within my site responsive objects, installations and drawings, I am fascinated with the interplay between the spatial, conceptual and architectonic conditions of a place. Through an incremental means of building with utilitarian materials, industrial felt, wood, paper towels, felted wool sweaters, I make objects that explore serial, repetition, mass and void, physicality and weight, compression and release. Within these qualities, I find parallels in the physical and psychological states of the body, and sensory knowledge. These pliable materials have an intense relationship to the body, and the capacity to carry traces, memory and a potent history of former use. My interest in physical actions of folding, cutting and stacking finds its focus in organization and reduction and makes reference to artistic precedent such as mono-ha and minimalism. These elemental solids are informed by systems of nature and geometry, Froebel’s gifts and German modernism, animal and mineral, parts and arrangements, architectural fragments, wedges, blocks, slabs.”
