Most of my work emerges from probing the physical, legal, and psychological systems that keep us separate and exploring the everyday engagements that keep us connected.
My current research/practice scrutinizes “Puritan” intertidal laws and shoreline/ocean access in the United States. Through legal ambiguities and loopholes, I deploy relational activations and access sculptures. The Ocean is a co-collaborator, and I (attempt to) use joy as a mode for discourse.
The environments and people involved are central to a larger ongoing form; the physical work created and documented is both artifact and wheel.
*The text above is tweaked often and remains static for only short periods—my attempt to be concise as my work develops.
