My work involves deconstructing through fragmentation and reconstructing by layering the fragments to shift time that was, to time that is, or could be.

I probe the mysterious images of people I want to know using multiple mediums with creative technologies – merging, layering, cutting and melding the parts of a perceived identity into a hybrid personality.  Many hypothetical elements are arranged in a collection that coheres into a conceptual portrait.

I am inspired by the relationship I have with vintage photography, which in all its forms is used to create and archive identity – documenting, tracing and memorializing it.  When I study a photograph I try to understand who and what is being preserved, chipping away to find a fragmented personality that is motionless and stagnant but has a history of being.  Abstract imagery shares imagined stories – raising multiple conversations about individuality.

My artistic practice is research-creational integrating mixed methods of making to push and explore the problems arising from limitations and disconnects that happen when many layers impact surfaces, production, and fabrication.
