At the heart of my work is a desire to interpret and assemble, through investigation, tracks and traces of the everyday that I confront through my work in photography, sculpture and printmaking. Taking the object as a starting point, recent works have focused on simple categorization of form and shape, recurring patterns and surface materials, […]

I make objects and paintings that appropriate ancient artifacts, religious icons and modernist materiality from the expansive pool of an art history that stretches back over 30,000 years.
