Artist Statement

Images pre-exist humans in camouflage, the unnoticed flounder on the oyster bed, the obvious eyespot on a moth's wing, evolutionary landscape painting copied and pasted forward in time. A performative mask, a bleeding puppet, the rhythm of a body in motion, these are attempts to share a consciousness of play.  

We are social animals performing in time, loving, attending, deluding, consuming and being consumed. Playful exploration and absurdity are grounding, revealing approaches to making. This is the emotional and intellectually honest path forward for creating work, for human solidarity.   

Love is an animal with other animals inside it.
