Bio

I create installations that blend physical and digital experiences.  My suspensions and reconstructed forms are empathetic studies of contemporary working and domestic scenes and objects that open a lived space between self and the world. The spatial qualities of my forms and their relations to fragments of other objects intensify their localities and invite narrative reflections by the viewer. They invite a process of remembrance and recollection for the future, an extracting of the significant from the transitory and the ephemeral.
