Artist Statement

My work frequently deals with themes of information - collecting it, organizing it and deciding what to do with it. Miscellaneous printed matter, sciencey images and found natural objects are often the subjects of my work, and along with elements such as repetition and color, for example, are used to bring lightheartedness to the work with a goal of bringing into question the necessity of the study of nearly everything. I am interested in past practices of photographing (or collecting via camera), organizing and repeating seemingly common objects as a way to analyze and/or over-analyze and question the things of life.
