Artist Statement

I think of mortality as a marriage between life and death, the fruitful union that is continually renewing and renewable, giving birth to meaning. Through a performance and sculptural practice, I explore the tender and grievous nature of mortality. My work uses materials for their substance and function to create phenomena. The partnership of life and death are the physical material of the work while the marriage is the phenomena, the ephemeral happening that bond the two together.
