I am an interdisciplinary artist working in painting, installation, video, and performance. My subject matter centers on family, humor, gender, figuration, and representation. Many of my projects use humor and performance to subvert traditional genres within Western art.

I am interested in an expanded definition of painting. I apply paint to an entire surface, then scrape it off with various kitchen spatulas, clay tools, and silkscreen squeegees. The process is very sculptural and immediate. I think of the paintings as two-dimensional carvings that are subtractive. Because I make them on the floor, they also become indexical records of the ground's textures.

My process often consists of assembling a collection of objects and images that address a loose theme, and then deriving meaning from the compositions and relationships among these objects. Many pieces start with an open-ended uncertainty that affords more space for surprise and discovery. I think of the rhythm of this process as ‘fast then slow,’ a multitude of quick pieces that avoid the pressures of finality. I then use these collections as material to build a narrative or experience that relies on chance relationships among pieces, or on patterns and currents that reveal themselves only when examined as a group.
