Artist Statement

My solo and collaborative work (with artist Trevor Mahovsky) examines the overlooked details of the world. I am interested in the resonance of objects: their cultural significance, their nostalgic value, their connection to our bodies in terms of nourishment and hygiene. But I am also interested in the way our relations with objects are fraught, in the way that the culture we create out of objects can seem profoundly indifferent or even hostile to us.
