Exhibition Statement:
I’ve spent the last decade exploring the world of domestic life and family systems. Although I started as a painter, describing the chaotic and contradictory world of parenting seemed to require a multi-layered, eclectic approach, and I have expanded my practice to include photography, sculpture and installation.
My recent work, constructed as mash-ups of imagery and materials from my domestic life, embodies the labor, creativity and humor needed to find balance in the overwhelming flood of daily life. Family objects, images of familiar landscapes, thrift-store finds, building materials and computer game imagery are thrown together in this work, in combinations that both revel in and try to order the resulting dissonance.
