Artist Statement

My installations and videos bring makeshift magic to unexpected places.  The projects use low-tech processes and basic building materials to make extraordinary interruptions in ordinary spaces, such as a dropped ceiling hung in the woods, burping papier mache standpipes on the sidewalk, or a tiny vinyl boat sailing across a bedroom’s waterbed.  The work encourages a suspension of disbelief, where a constructed scenario is persuasive despite the fact that the means used to create it are fully apparent.  The projects ask people to notice where they are, and, with humor, to imagine what else might be possible there.
