Artist Statement
Identity results from a mash-up of experiences and influences, and my work reflects this. I pair and combine media, often collaborating with others, to create synergy among art forms and disciplines. Sound becomes text, techno music DJing accompanies tap dancing, sculpture produces melody. I make work that, like us, is many things, changing with time.
