The transmission of information is fraught with disconnections. Trying to impart our perceptions of reality to others can feel futile at times. We see things as we expect them to be. The peripheries of society, disparities between groups of people, distribution of and access to resources, system failures - such as with the world financial market - all become unseen until the ramifications demand we wake up from our assumptions.

Interruptions create moments when realities get crossed and layered and meaning becomes confounded. It is this interruption - a glitch or failure - which creates a pause that allows us to connect, notice and re-evaluate.

My body of work investigates the way we experience space, objects and our surroundings, attempting to bring light to what goes unnoticed in our environment. Influenced by my roots - being born in the Midwest and spending most of my youth in the Deep South - I am autobiographically motivated, while exploring broader issues of the use of space and the politics of noticing. I am drawn to decay, disrepair, the overlap of the industrial over domestic space, the intersection of technology, the found and the handmade, and conflicting materials and images that reflect the breakdown in contemporary society.
