I make paintings, sculptures, and site-specific installations that explore the interactions between light, color, and form, and investigate how particular qualities of light influence our perception of the world around us. I view my work as a diary or memento of the collections of my thoughts, questions, curiosities, and the glimpses of possibility I discover in our relationship with light.
