My work looks for the line between obscurity and clarity, the transitional states that exist within the gray zones, the spaces in-between spaces. The slow resurfacing of consciousness after a long sleep, the recalling of a distant memory, the evasion of a word on the tip of the tongue.
In a constant fluctuation between image construction and deconstruction, my work utilizes blurriness, superimposition, and repetition to generate instances of uncertainty. My prints, videos, and installations focus on the transformation of material, usually incorporating industrial structures, found images, and personal archives.
