My work is meant to challenge our perceptions of who creates art, how it is displayed, and the truth it holds. I seek clarity through genuine experience and am interested in how society comes to believe or deny certain truths, and the role of democracy in such decisions. To reveal this democratic process my work often requires a significant amount of viewer interaction with the piece. To create a participatory dialogue I often use digital technology and relational aesthetics so that the physical world can be altered via the digital or online world. Because of the focus on creating truth through participation there is also an emphasis on communication; an object, performance, or display must clearly communicate its intent with minimal embellishment. To achieve this level of communication there is a high degree of design in my work; every line is considered, every curve has a reason, and nothing is arbitrary.
