I am interested in making meaning at junctures between word and image, between the familiar and the strange. I spent last semester studying art in Sao Paulo, where I did a series of conceptual projects investigating the structure of time in a large urban environment. I began to consider the problems of narrative, history, and plot, when language is not an option for communication. This set of questions was my starting point for installation work this year. Drawing inspiration from mystery stories, I’ve begun to use found objects to create environments with an implied plot. I want to find ways to draw the viewer closer in by making the familiar mysterious.
