Catalogue Note

"I am interested in poetic and political compositions that can be realized in a diverse range of media, including performance, installations, sculpture, video, photography, and works on paper. I try to use overlapping layers of narrative to explore notions of identity - whether fictional or real - as well as contemporary politics, religion and morality."
