Artist Statment

My work is about place, and how it informs identity. My practice is takes many forms, with a vocabulary that includes, but is never limited to, photography, film/video, performance, installation, and collage. Still, time-based, analog and digital technologies all hold equal sway in my art practice, and influence its meaning. As an emerging artist and art educator at the turn of the twenty-first century, I have come of age at the analog-digital crux, with one foot firmly in each camp. Through a toggling of new and old technologies, I attempt to contextualize my personal experiences within the technological flux of imaging, and find a home there.
