I create collections of what I call ‘visual poems,’ which take the form of sculptural installations. Each arrangement combines provocative artifacts that imply events, emotions, memories or personal associations. As I work, I often set up certain shifting narrative challenges: “Can I make a piece that appears evil? “Can I make a piece that feels like it is a part of the house I grew up in?” Other questions arise from pure material curiosities, such as asking: “Can I make a piece out of only water and vinyl?” I often uncover reoccurring symbolic forms whose connotations evoke certain places, people, or events that I have encountered throughout my lifetime. Each association becomes a character that acts out certain ideas or narratives, like actors in a play. Join the Facebook Event. Categories All Student Profile
