Artist Statement

My practice is driven by an obsession with various corporeal, imaginary and symbolic bodies and the processes by which these bodies might possess or elude each other. I work with pre-existing and newly made video footage, objects, texts and images that I attempt to force into new performances and relationships. This forcing happens in the studio in a way I can best describe as a type of collage that operates via actions of isolation, displacement, repetition and condensation. Readings and experiences in/with parapsychology, mythology, supernatural events and psychoanalytic theory fuel my imagination and process.
