Artist
Statement
For the
past ten years my work has explored the relationships between music,
language, and mathematics. I am interested in how we seamlessly move
between these varied systems with almost very little effort. There
seems to be some underlying pattern that ties these (and possibly
all systems) together.
These
systems often manifest themselves in manufactured spaces (both physical
and ephemeral). My collages, paintings, prints, drawings, and artist
books investigate the way we segment the spaces we encounter—whether
they are audio, visual, or conceptual. The idea of dividing areas
into harmonic proportions has been a tool of the artist for millennia,
but seems ever more relevant today. Just as we communicate with a
variety of systems, we also live and work within spaces that have
been ordered, divided, and rearranged whether to satisfy utilitarian
or aesthetic needs.
These
pieces should not be interpreted as an articulation of any real identifiable
place. But they are meant to invoke a sense of the intuitive and harmonious
relationships that are created as we arrange, and are simultaneously
arranged by, the spaces we inhabit. |
