My artistic practice is predicated on an interdisciplinary approach that combines sculpture and installation with video and experimental material processes in glass. As glass creates separation and enables access, embodies stasis and reacts with almost infinite plasticity, I am drawn to the medium for its capacity to engage these contradictory qualities and evoke immaterial phenomena through its materiality.

With a critical documentary impulse, my work interweaves moving image with architectural interventions to investigate questions about technological mediation, cultural memory, community, spatial dislocation, ecology, and displacement. A central concern of my work, then, is the coherence of collective feeling, belonging, or unbelonging, around geography and landscape. I am interested in the horizons, landmarks, routes, and routines that provide structure to human interface with a deeply disordered world. Reframing experimental processes of observation to synthesize fragments—of experiences, impressions, matter, and memory—my work diagrams more provisional maps that may slide beneath the surface of everyday consciousness: shadows and glitches that foreground the mediation of satellite imagery, the collision of nautical navigation systems with the curatorial arrangements of a gallery space, or a termite colony’s paths through the world beneath their rock. Combining technical precision with the interdisciplinary toolkits of glass, video, sculpture, and conceptual art, I resituate these fragments among the larger cultural and historical forces in which they are embedded to highlight the specters of violence and flickers of wonder that collect at the boundaries of our human spaces.
