Reference note:
Sculptural installation with foldout pamphlet

I make books, paintings, films, and sculpture, as well as installations which incorporate some or all of these elements. My paintings and books are displayed on sculptural forms, like scaffolding or abstract landscapes. These forms bridge the gap between the real space occupied by the viewer and the imaginary space evoked in the artworks.

I work with images of bodies and landscapes, and the interaction between the two. I am interested in the limits of the self, and in experiences of absorption, intimacy, isolation, and loneliness.
