   Short Statement

Participant

My work is an investigation of the seam that binds experience to language, story to teller and fantasy to history.  I mine my own past for jumping off points that will allow me to create alternative history. I am committed to the potential for disruption, through insertion of a personal narrative voice. In this weighting there is a shift in designation of value. I am interested in the hiccup that occurs in perception as fact and event are subverted and converted to the level of myth. I use the personal voice as an entry way to this new mythology; a mythology which both creates and defies logic. I see the stories that I recount through photography and performance as precariously balanced between the entropic, the absurd and the recognizable.  I tell them with a fervor and a simplicity that allows in humor, pathos and poetry.
