I work in sculptural installation, drawing, sound, publication and video. My installations serve as entry points into broader questions about how knowledge and perception is materialized in the world.
How do our collective histories perform through signifiers? What does an object represent if not itself, and who determines its meaning?
Often using folklore storytelling traditions, open- source neural networks, architectural monuments, as a starting point , I aim to subvert the methods of scientific knowledge production and trouble systems that assign and maintain institutional hierarchies with criticality and humor.
In some of my recent work, I explore systemic failures and temporal glitches as they manifest through a performer’s body or open source neural networks. I use translation in more than the linguistic sense: I am interested in how meaning “fails”, gets distorted or glitched when moving through technologies, institutional frameworks, or even as narratives are transmitted.
I work on the edge of irony, humor and improvisation to form a visual language that fluidly sits within different contexts of viewing. My practice uses installation as a tool for exploring the tension between presence and distance, and for questioning the very structural integrity of the systems we inhabit.
