Statement
I work with imagery to create spaces that search for relevance with the viewer, not through "site-specific" familiarity, but rather a sense of connection, memory, or direct experience. Film and photography inspire me- their abilities to inject narrative into a space, creating layers of meaning via duration, the framing/editing processes, motion, and the juxtaposition of images. Film provides a physical border around a space and predetermines the viewerís relationship to its scale. It can also "adjust" the detail a viewer explores, through blurring and movement; this creates entirely new aspects of form. The tension between these softened objects and the hard border of a filmed frame is intriguing to me as is filmís ability to alter content with an edit. The photographed (or recorded) image also speaks uniquely of age; in addition to suggesting time through movement, it takes on the stresses of its life via scratches, blemishes, and altered surfaces. These become integral aspects of the form, and forever change the content. Iím drawn to the physicality of the art object- the surface quality, the weight, formal aspects of cool abstraction, the manipulation of a medium. I like to build the images. These physical considerations are what move me to explore with the dynamics of paint rather than photo or film. However, by drawing on these mediums in my work, I am searching for a new interpretation of "landscape space"- one that is quieter, perhaps and less direct, but one that still holds for the viewer a unique personal connection.
