Statement

My conceptual focus lies in the constructs of my surroundings and I have recently been exploring the meaning of ‘place’ within the urban environment on a large scale. Identity is key when conceptualizing spatial-temporal reasoning and my aim is to offer visual dilemmas for the viewer when faced with abstract alternate expressions specific to place. Borders no longer exist. A refusal to see the edges in the lines; in-between things that most of us think keep life manageable, I strive to eliminate. The result may be chaos in a physical world seemingly under control with its constant metamorphosis and layering of time, providing systems and operations for the urban public to consume and accept without question.
