Short Statement:
In my work I examine the tension between public space and private identity. Through manipulations of familiar images, I suggest that our public and private selves are not easily reconciled.
My work is about our often-unsuccessful attempts to know and understand the world through appearances, which offer us both more and less than we expect. The moments of uncertainty that my work at once represents and creates are moments of possibility, in which we are forced to give up our preconceptions about each other and ourselves.
