In my work, I incorporate moving, still images, sound, technology and industrial materials to create allusions of recognizable landscapes/environments that examine the notion of space-time as a measure of reality. The viewer is induced to connect by exploring, interacting and at times by focusing on an object-place-scene for a duration of time in a manner that is both meditative and investigative. These environments/installations are void of a plot; in contrast, I provide the elements necessary for the production of an intimate narrative that takes place between what the viewer perceives and a record of my memory. It is an art of seduction, illusion and introspection where subject and representation exchange and engage in conditions that can allow the mind to convey from one reality to the next without the limit of boundaries.
