Artist's Statement
I repurpose disappeared, obsolete ideas or technologies by combining with updated technologies and everyday things, in order to function in contexts of our time.
One of my major interests is the history of the motion picture. The intersection of pre-cinema animation techniques and modern methods of image capture and creation in my work creates a hybrid that allows viewers to reconsider the media in their contemporary lives.
My predominant medium is interactive sculptures or installations that incorporate video, hand-drawn animation and kinetic elements.
