When absence is disguised as excess, looking becomes a comedic performance.

Architectural structures, poised in a moment between imminent collapse and perpetual construction, suggest a strangely funny and dreadful event on the verge of becoming. Absurd, biomorphic creatures appear to pause in the midst of creeping, oozing or watching. Additional elements, furtively placed among the architecture, intensify the potential for a narrative.

I create installations as tableaus to activate the irritating space within language, architecture and the body, which evades certain knowing. The posed drama of the architectural "stage" exists in a state of limbo until the viewer chooses to enter, becoming both spectator and actor. Useless or interstitial spaces invite peeping, the object's integrity is questionable and boundaries defining the real, the remembered and the virtual are playfully confused. The disruption between expectations and perception arouses new possibilities.
