Artist Statement

My art practice is a multi-disciplinary exploration of the many issues happening in the home. An investigation of images and narratives of sublimated family dynamics and the idea of the suburban home as an environment of contradictions.

My decorative paintings and deceptive wallpapers conceal contemporary phrasing, which deal with unspoken, not-so-nice thoughts that we all share. Using colorful language, optical punch and vibrating text, the statements are camouflaged or imbedded in the wallpaper patterning so there is an element of discovery, revealing our innermost thoughts and feelings.

In addition, I combine video and sound to create installations, which reflect my fascination with how our relationships take place in our everyday lives, hovering between humor and desperation, and time-based media in conjunction with painting creates an overall environment.
