My artistic practice is influenced by the particular panoply that shaped me, that informs my fascination with the human tendency to project, communicate, and exploit the currency of things. Paradoxically, I’m captivated by the tangible qualities of objects—those here-and-now phenomena that speak viscerally, in their own language. It’s not the meaning of the flower in the vase; it’s how the color responds to light, how glass reflects it and water distorts it, each in their own way, always in flux.
