RECENT WORKS
Recent works are a dissection of diagrams and architecture using a disorientation of elements in space. I place sculptural works on the wall or floor that visually confuse and fluctuate between foreground and background. As a viewer walks around the work, the arrangement of forms change and take on different interpretations at each angle. Some of the objects appear to follow the rules of gravity while others do not. I dismantle linear, logical, and language-based structures and rearrange them into my own visual grammar. I also flatten certain spaces to mimic the way we experience dimension on a flat, digital screen. It's a continuous exploration of of real vs. imagined spaces.
