Though multidisciplinary in medium and intent, at the heart of it, my work explores the power of narrative vessels and our complex, internal compasses. We navigate through our world through systems of belief: in our place in things, in how others see us, and in how we generate personal identity and a sense of belonging. Whether serious or playful, buoyant or thoughtful, imaginary or the merely perceived, I work to create sense of my interactions, and document the ways we engage the world around us in influential, altering ways.
