My work as an artist comes from a sincere interest in trying to communicate to the viewer a sense of what my experience has been. Primarily in regards to how I have navigated and interpreted it. Almost all of my work is categorically about me, whether directly or obliquely. I try to use my personal subject matter as a tactic for interrogating a larger subject which entails the way cultural, political and ideological structures serve to define us as people. My art is orientated towards “identity” only insomuch that it facilitates the agency of the viewer to identify with something or not to. I am particularly concerned in the ways that the discrete work of art is affected, and possibility transformed or legitimized, by the language it is encoded and couched in, the context through which it is deployed as well as the contingent significance of any attached personal narrative.
