Through the act of disruption and displacement, I make sense of my environment. I take things apart, flipping, mirroring, defamilarizing, displacing, looking at every aspect to see what it is about. I blur the boundary between interior and exterior, decorative and utilitarian. Disorientation occurs when architecture is subtly modified, or when unlike materials are abutted. My work operates in this space and prolongs the moment before the eyes and mind can adjust to the alterations that I have made to the environment.

The juxtaposition of materials is a key element in my work. I work with themes of entrapment, isolation, interior and exterior. I approach rooms and materials with a light touch, setting up a series of relationships or phrases instead of statements or sentences.
