Artist Statement
In my work, I often draw attention to parts of a site that might otherwise be unnoticed or taken for granted. I do this through a kind of mimicry or replication of forms found at the site, often whittling them down to quintessential elements. This comes from a personal tendency to find meaning and importance in things that are considered commonplace or banal. I'm also interested in the various ways sites can and have been represented. Much of my imagery is mined from disparate resources such as storybook illustrations, technical drawing handbooks, decorative wallcoverings, photomechanical reproductions and photos I take in various natural and built environments.
