"My work falls between sculpture, architecture and design. Coming out of sculpture, with an interest in architecture and design, I saw that by merging the three I could dissolve the line between art and daily life. I approach monumentality in an un-monumental way, knowing that the only way I could work at such a large scale was to insert functional amenities, like benches and fountains, to distract from the more targeted interventions I wanted to impose.
I consider the relationship of the social/political world to the private psychological one, highlighting the differences between these sites in an attempt to promote a social breakdown of content and context. With a touch of humor and cynicism, I zoom in and out of the conditions which organize us as a culture in order to see how that affects us as individuals. My focus is on the ‘down time’ when one eats, reads and is in repose , as the time when the ‘where’, ‘who’, ‘what’ , and ‘how’ is most evidenced . It is through the organization of the space, that I can instigate anonymous relationships, highlight behavioral proclivities and frame public flirtations-playing the role of the unseen cupid and backroom troublemaker."
