I consider my work to be hauntological in nature. I am interested in the tension of misinterpretation and the phenomenology of what haunts. I experiment in the studio by sculpting with time-based media, wire, monofilament fishing line, and twine. I perform in these atmospheres, creating in a wind tunnel of ephemera inspired by Spiritualist photography and the uncanny. I also create collage “cut-ups” and weird figurative gouache paintings to explore “time out of joint”. My approach in talking about my work is poetic. I let my thinking flow associatively and I am taken on a sojourn into eerie temporality where the real and the unreal live together in between tricks of the light, orbs, eye floaters, fireflies, and broken streetlights. The past haunts the present from a place of repetitive and necessary urgency. Snarled knots that can’t be brushed out of wet hair, a rat’s nest, a sailor’s knot, nerves before a performance, and cosmic kaleidoscopes are all par for the course. My intention is to catch participants at the crossroads of the real and the unreal all at once.
