Artist Statement:
I work specifically in language play, conceptually infusing everyday words, staple idioms and popular culture with deadpan humor, logic games and purposeful misunderstanding. Through drawing, collage and letterpress artist books rich in text and open interpretation I strive to express language’s absurd to poetic spectrum of definition and the subjective, encouraging alternate perspectives for how we might otherwise understand our world and communicate with those around us.
