personal work

▷ though i work in various and disparate mediums as my needs and interests dictate, the samples provided here highlight the major ongoing focus of my work: an exploration of those fleeting and inexpressible moments which cannot be possessed… only remembered
▷ to support this focus i work predominantly with time-based materials, since their event oriented qualities and inherent transience align with my phenomenological investigations
▷ a brief summary of my artistic focus might read…
i strive to create pieces that address the limitations of language as it relates to the unexplainable, yet decidedly real, qualities of transcendent physical experience
▷ since time-based installation is difficult to (re)present, each page provides a brief
description of the piece as well as a visual sample
▷ there is audio associated with most of the documentation, so be sure your volume is set to a comfortable level
