Statement
I work with words, actions and images to explore the fertile tensions between/within those media. The result of “misused” text, processes and products, my work comments on the entrenched systems of contemporary life and the unresolved contradictions they generate.
I begin each piece without preconceptions about the finished work, letting my materials inform my choices. I often use automatic or randomizing procedures that foster unexpected discoveries and create camouflaged or hybrid forms. Collaboration with other artists is also an important part of my work. Through the interaction between materials, ideas and processes, problems and themes emerge that address the complexity of human action in individual, institutional, social and ecological contexts.
This website offers an overview of my work, including a selection of visual/verbal pieces and links to work published online. The "Artist Info" page includes a chronology of important activities from 2007 to the present. My blog page, "News and Notes," includes announcements of upcoming shows, publications, events and performances, along with occasional essays about my own and others' art and writing. The "Community" page features links to the websites and blogs of friends and colleagues. "Press" offers links to things other people have written about me and my work. Check back often to see what's up!
