I am an interdisciplinary artist, based in Tucson AZ. Originally from the Mid- Atlantic, my work studies and documents my perception of landscape both natural and human made. 

​

 I became interested in the relationship between material, labor, and industry after drawing a connection between my experience in manual labor jobs and my enduring love of baseball.  I find conceptual and aesthetic interest in the shifting dialogue between laborer and construction; the deskilling of industry work in contrast to the specialization of pastime. My process in the studio begins with a methodical, repetitive approach to object making that equates the studio with ideas of production. The multiples and creative guidelines that form my work echo the strict structure of both sport and labor. 

 This structure that exists is constantly being altered by decisions constricted by time, spatial priorities, and environmental limitations.  The “long-term temporary” way of solving infrastructural issues within our landscape is echoed in a composed situation through haphazard, yet intuitive decisions that dictate an object’s place “on-stage”. Working in an interdisciplinary fashion allows me to explore and deconstruct the various experiences and modes of a landscape. I’ve found that my practice needs to function mechanically, one process fueling the other.
