Within my site responsive drawings, installations and objects, I am fascinated with the interplay between the spatial, conceptual, and architectonic conditions of a place. Through an accumulative means of building with utilitarian materials, industrial felt, paper towels, clothing, new and used hospital and bath towels, I make structures that address mass and void, line, weight, density, compression and expansion. Within these qualities, I find parallels in the physical and psychological states of the body, and the human condition. My interest in mundane physical actions of folding, shearing, separating, stacking finds its focus in organization and reduction. The directness of a simple activity of the hand, and to issues in the industry of labor and serial repetition, make reference to precedent such as mono-ha and minimalism.
