Statement  
 

I confront how the body relates to my constructed spaces. My work does not directly represent the figure, but I use the viewer’s passage through an installation to signify the relationship between the body and space it occupies. The fibrous materials I use allude to corporeal structures and the body’s eventual deterioration. The collision of the physical, psychological, emotional and rational human experience informs the contexts from which I develop my installations.

At the Guggenheim Museum (from 2006-2007) I worked on the exhibition/construction crew. From then until now I work as an expeditor at Christie’s auction house. Through these jobs I have learned about the invisible structures that compose an exhibition, as well as how making basic changes and using simple techniques galleries are transformed overnight to accommodate a wide range of property and expected audiences. I am beginning to relate these hidden tactics to those employed by a nursing home, for residents and their visitors; questioning the things we are not supposed to notice.
