Artist Statment
I worry that there is something I am missing about how the world functions. In my work I make photographs and installations using quotidian objects. The objects make words—the combinations of objects make sentences. The “sentences” are made from photoshop frankensteins and combinations of images and physical objects. I like quotidian objects because they have become invisible because they are so familiar. I have a hunch that when studied, they will reveal something about our underlying systems. While doing this I am simultaneously working with two trains of thought. In the first I am trying to stumble upon an insight that will clarify my world view—clicking everything into place. In the other, I am trying to represent how my interactions with the world feel: destabilizing.
