I'm interested in the production of history, and focus on how architecture reveals lived experiences.  Building off maps and charts, plans and schematics, I also want to know what came before, and what might follow. What's visible and what gets hidden. Where I might fit in or be left out. 

 

Writing in the language of clay I use templates, rulers, X-acto knives and rolling pins to create models, copies and pictures. I make duplicates and installations with many parts. The work is seriously tactile, material, often gritty and a little bit dirty.  It takes up space and has weight.

 

Going back and forth between abstraction and the actual here and now: I’m always thinking metaphorically about what we can know and who we are. Clay lets me do this better than anything else.
