Now I am here. Where are you? I make work where I am. I have allowed for questions. I look for the simplest solution. I have allowed for contradiction. I have allowed for open-endedness. I want my work to clearly communicate. I allow my hand to show to disrupt any illusion. I use language, text, and my voice as pliable forms. I build bridges of communication through various forms. I let the form of the work reflect the actions of its making. I arrange ordinary materials for people to rethink perception. I organize things through value, size or other default methods. I establish a framework to stay focused and reach an end point. I use the materials that are at hand to capture fugitive moments. I look for underlying patterns within existing structures and systems. I measure, demarcate, and play with existing structures and systems. I use repetition and the mirror image as a way to multiply visual potency. I use repetition and the mirror image as a way to multiply visual potency. I construct situations and spaces for people to interact and share a moment. I rearrange ordinary objects for people to see their surroundings in new light. I recognize what is already there allowing it to bring deeper implication to my work. I make, repeat, and persevere allowing meaning to emerge through the act of doing. I allow the path I take to show in the work so that others can enter and exit as I have. When I arrive at the end there is always surprise.
