Dualities and boundaries are my greatest source of inspiration. How can minimal become excess? Where does a reference become a connection? When does nuance become novel? These instigating questions establish a relationship with viewers of my work and create a cyclical rhythm of thinking, acting, and viewing. I have an idea, I make my idea, I see my idea. Viewers look, stay, and contemplate. It’s a flexible relationship that can be momentary or enduring.
