Through my work I investigate my day to day, immediate environments – places of common, shared experience. I am concerned with the collective source, those ubiquitous environments and the mass-produced components within them that everyone may encounter on a daily basis, for example, parking lots, air vents, and electrical conduits, which all look about the same wherever you go. These stimuli constitute much of the visual information we encounter on a daily basis.
I am concerned with how the majority of this information becomes regarded as mundane and is pushed into the background of our attentions. I investigate the potential for excitement or even perceived magic to come from these places.
I have recently exhibited at Spaces Gallery in Cleveland, Ohio in the show Detour. I have also shown multiple works at The Sculpture Center and The Cleveland Foundation. I have been awarded such prizes as the Sallie Fishman Award for Excellence in Sculpture and The Helen Greene Perry Traveling Scholarship from the Cleveland Institute of Art.
