Artist Statement
My work is propelled by threads of inquiry that spur new nodes of research. My questions revolve around an axis of curiosity, cynicism, fascination, and a need to understand the social systems that shape our lives on micro and macro levels. I examine these queries through text, conversation, and material exploration, processes that facilitate time and space to problem solve, ideate, conceptualize, and think. I draw from sociological and philosophical frameworks to respond to investigations that center on the ways in which we intersect, include, and exclude as human beings. The core of my work is sustained by my writing practice, which I use to explore my personal relationship to the topics I am studying. My current work focuses on my relationship with sports, namely American football.
