Artist's Statement

Behavior as a response is the area I am most interested in exploring as an artist. My work explores the codes that develop in both familial and social relationships that cultivate and influence an individual's behavior. These ideas are explored through video, performance, and interventions into public space. The work reinterprets ideas about communication by restructuring the familiar.

Parent and child relationships are analyzed through time-based juxtaposition; crying becomes a public emotion displayed on bulletin flyers; and the awkwardness of everyday spaces is magnified by videos on pre-existing monitors. I am most interested in capturing the psychological space between individuals and magnifying the rules by which we maintain the self in the everyday.
