Statement:
As an interdisciplinary artist who works combines photogaphy, video, animation and print, I am compelled by a processed-based studio practice. My works involve an attention to repetition in process and a cut-and-paste approach to media. Mashing mulitple and distinct sources, my works investigate temporality, memory and media culture.
