About the Item

I'm interested in the universal emotional experience of the everyday, then making it my own. My multi-disciplinary art-making practice finds its psychological analogues in the blurring of beauty and grotesque, nostalgia and critique. Whether I am celebrating and disrupting the integrity of the picture plane or testing the limits of autobiographical reference, I situate my practice in the place where high and low visual indicators of social status not only interact, but cross-pollinate. From early on, I engaged in a conversation between painting and sculpture, making artworks from fragments of the home: shag carpets, appliance doors, imitation wood wall paneling, curtains, bottle caps, and family snapshots. I used these mundane materials to create a language that draws in part from the private realm of domestic environments, as well as the traditional modalities of painting and sculpture. The intent is to elicit an emotional response that is both uncannily familiar and sometimes disarmingly strange.
