Artist Statement
My studio is like a place in the book Deuteronomy. It is the site of my covenant with a higher power that motivates and guides me in my work. It is where I confess my identity and loyalty to humankind, in which my studio becomes a space of continual and unfolding conflict. As I work, I am continually probing, cutting, rearranging, and organizing my innermost concerns. The topics of science, magic, technology, and religion often reappear as major subjects, mainly because I believe that all four of those things are exactly the same, just structured differently.
