Interacting with the Order of the Everyday

My work tries to break out of the constraints of expectation, to explore and examine the broad possibilities of engaging the public domain with both the commonplace and thought provoking. My installations use discarded objects and utilitarian materials. I respond to the building's history, focus on the construction of place and reveal spatial relationships. Through layering and juxtaposition, texture and color, my pieces connect the political, social, and cultural implications of space and its boundaries. They infuse life into urban sites and comment on various means of habitation.

In my work, the implied dismantling and reorientation of spaces help make the places and their contents identifiable and knowable. My art challenges perceptions of ordinary activities by encouraging people to take a closer look at the things around them. My photographs are not the idealized image of a place; they contain narratives. I encourage the discussions, critiques and exchanges that occur when composing and layering the mundane and functional with the derelict, and found with the physical and stationary.
