Working Artist’s Statement

Movement and place. A curiosity for movement circulates through all of the work I make. Whether it is in my sculpture, performative or 2D work I attempt to visualize movement in a very bodily way, by acknowledging the tension, anxiety and vulnerability found in movement. Then there is place - as in a place to contain things such as a vessel, a location to be in and explore, or a physical place versus an emotional place. The most exciting moments for me in creating are the moments when these two ideas of movement and place collide and begin a conversation via form. The conversations these collisions have started are those of sex, gender, identity, the use/uselessness of objects or their function, and dance outside a theater context.

All of these conversations, with the underlying force of my concerns with movement and place, take a variety of forms. The accumulation of ideas and objects is a very physical project within my practice and results in a lot of residue - in the form of brainstorming, prototypes, multiples and installation. To fill a space with the variety of media I work with would be ideal, and would allow me to see more clearly how all of these tangents connect and can be realized.
