Installation work is exciting to me; I enjoy its flexibility, involvement with site, and ability to immerse the viewer physically in the work. I am fascinated with combining smaller components into a whole, and with pieces that require specific methods of placement or presentation.

At times, it is as though I have spent my time in the studio creating a puzzle or toy, and the process of installing is an act of play. The different ways exposure to the elements changes the work is also always interesting. Re-installing pieces in new sites creates a new conversation, a new iteration of the work, and in this way I continue to learn from my completed pieces.
