Artist Statement
In my work I use elemental forces, utilitarian structures and mythological narratives as material to create durational performative actions. In some works I am the subject, directly performing in front of the camera. In others, I work through the materials to create a platform in which an experiment or an experience will occur. In either case, the properties inherent to the material dictate its form; once the material is chosen, I submit my agency to these parameters. Plants grow, a line is drawn, I stand and fall. Through such simple actions and the necessary collaboration with forces outside of my control, my work explores systems of knowledge and belief.
