I make objects, paintings, and installations which devolve into complex, self-referencing systems of meaning-making, representation, and experience. Using the structures of language as a starting point, my work investigates the ways that systems are built and the instability of frameworks that exist in continual change. Resituating the idea of finish, I repeatedly arrange and rearrange my modular painting-objects, letting the work rewrite itself over and over again. 

Through foregrounding the work’s relationship to physical space, I place the challenges of navigating language into an experience that can be had with the body. I use wood as a centralizing material, connecting the histories of painting, sculpture, architecture, craft, toys, and paper with the woods of Kentucky as a grounding site.
