My work explores moments when bodies and infrastructure intersect, and the political and social effects of their interactions. I borrow from the aesthetic language of corporate marketing, municipal agencies, productivity platforms to attempt to reframe these everyday and often banal interactions as extrordinary, absurd, and worthy of our scrutiny.
My recent object-based work focuses on the images and infrastructure of tall buildings, treating these structures as embodiments of the institutions they’re designed to contain. I manipulate the images of these buildings - bending, twisting, elongating them - to parallel the narrative contortions that institutions employ to construct and refine their identities.
My current video and media work examines minute relationships between people and interior spaces, both real and virtual. I'm drawn to and often focus on ‘boring’ subjects like mundane rituals, repetitive gestures, workplace layouts, formulaic furniture, and amplifing their absurdity to explore how large an impact these small and often invisible things can have on everyday experiences.
