I consider my work to be interdisciplinary, experimental, and wide-ranging in nature. I traverse many modes of visual communication in an attempt to discover the cultural significance of objects and the inherent symbolism embedded within them. Researching where I come from while also searching for truth in my own personal history, I explore themes of culture and tradition from rural America to create personal reliquaries of memory and emotion. This work allows me to speak to not only who I am, but also to a part of American society that is often overlooked and under explored within the context of contemporary art.
