about

Through visual media, I survey the relationship between body and structure. I use the built environment as a metaphor for socially constructed (and deconstructed) identity.  As the keeper of memory, architecture determines psycho-geography, body movement, accessibility and identity formation.

I am interested in what happens at the periphery of the structure – in rituals of resistance. The language of architecture is one of narrowing traffic lines, locked doors, thresholds, divisions, erasure, repetitive movement, and 90 degree angles. Through painting I re-imagine my learned relationship to material, environment and space.
