Project Statement:
My work is primarily installation based, placing various ideas in the same space and asking the viewer to draw connections. I organize information, meticulously categorizing everyday situations, interactions among other people, and my relationship to the world around me. After spending a major part of this past year focusing on the idea of curating and the organization of exhibitions, I realized how closely related those ideas are to the work that I produce. I highlight and emphasize patterns of time, whether those patterns exist in my daily activities or are embedded in ideas I find interesting.
