From my Art Talk:
“Susan Sontag once said that an artist is someone who is interested in everything. [M]y art practice is suited to engage an expansive subject that moves casually between and through a gamut of disciplines while resisting easy classification.
I am more than a photographer. In my art practice I have used found materials such as cardboard, tar paper, chicken wire, and construction materials because their meaning was less associated with art making and because I found they had resonance with meaning of a different kind. My practice has consistently used an informal assemblage aesthetic and its structural and compositional procedures.
There notions of site specificity, of place, in my practice. I attempt to let arbitrary and chance be part of the process. The point may be to devise works that escape the self-referentiality within which modern art is trapped…
I walk. I walk in site specific places that bring me to inner peace or excitement, for the possibilities of an environment that also embraces me with its smells, its light and dark, its textures, its aural play upon my body and, of course, [many other] reasons.”
