Artist Statement
“My work concerns itself with the gap between concepts and objects, exploring this space through an intermediate entity—the model. Using décollage and drawing, I locate beauty amid the spatial-temporal dimensions of form and function. The décollage works, layered and sculpted relief-like photographs, occupy a middle ground between pictures and sculpture. In these works, I remove everything but the edges of shapes, eliminating subject matter while revealing form.“
