I make site-specific installations and wall-based compositions.    Each installation is an immersive environment constructed as a place that encourages sensory understanding of physical space and temporal duration.  My compositions suggest a contingency in the rhythmic act of marking space and shifts that occur in our experience of time. 

My work considers a viewer’s movement in space, sight both peripheral and focal, and sometimes sound to construct a personal experience of place.    This experience highlights the passage from a viewer’s immediate and un-named sensing of a given event to the process of making sense of this encounter.

Light, ambient and projected, is my primary vehicle for sensory influence within a physical construct of light activated materials. Changing daylight over one thousand lines of translucent monofilament at eye level create gentle fluctuations of sight, causing uncertainty of spatial approach for the viewer in Fugitive Horizons

In Three Minutes From Now, light projects through nine boxes embedded in the wall to create shifting relationships of colors, luminance, movement, and stillness over time.   Similarly, multiple panels of tinted translucent volumes and graphite marks drawn across frames evoke brief, fleeting moments on the periphery of perceptible space. 

My work is an attempt to create a filmic space where a different sense of time passing is possible.  In linking the concrete and the atmospheric through a sequence of encounters, I try to make more palpable the act of recognition, recollection and anticipation driven by our desire to understand the present moment in personal terms.
