Artist Statement
My practice is an exploration of perception through physical perceptual play. Pinging between the semiotic and the perceptual, I use material both literally and as metaphor. Through a playful conflation of different modes of image making—representation, reproduction, reflection, replication—I construct situations in which the viewer is encouraged to question their modes and faculties of perception. By facilitating this perceptual play, my work serves as a sandbox where viewers can explore their confusion and interrogate their assumptions in a consensual space.
