I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it.

But then you're trapped.

My practice draws on Conceptual art and Minimalism as key sources and spans drawing, photography, film and performance.

Recurrent motifs.

These encompass printed matter, arrangements and displays, creating objects, writing texts, and unwieldy social situations are created, indexing a larger structure through which I necessitate not only adjusting one's sense of surround but also one's awareness of others.

This awareness is not always comfortable.

I want to introduce you to my recent consideration of subjects through a form of storytelling that investigates language's ability to allow different perceptions of reality to coexist.

Equal parts meandering and meticulous.

In this monologue performance, speech is the principal subject and tool; I often narrate allegories of conduit metaphors inspired by a mix of literature, art history and interviews which involve disjointed narratives both live and recorded that aim to disrupt one's sense of time and space.

I speak through the words, images and actions of others. This ventriloquist position is clearly situated in the present but composed completely from fragments and voices from the past, yet it is not historicizing.

I believe you can speak things into existence.

This performance features text read live accompanied with compiled footage from various sources.

Stylized acts of reading and speaking through these sources that become letters, signs and symbols in a new language which traverses or shortcuts multiple histories.

Extending film into performance with a live reading of tangential but interweaving narratives, I continue to explore language in relation to the 'other'. Questioning the separation between text, image and the body, this live 'dialogue' becomes the link between the viewer, the film and the projection stage.

A very different frame of reference, one that establishes a unique relationship between artist, artwork and audience as the aesthetic form of a live moment igniting new potential for participation and communication.

You might say I'm interested in the form of side effects.
