Words are power(ful); my artwork illuminates the subtle but potent ways that language influences the way we perceive the world. My medium is language, but my artwork takes many forms from word-based neon signs to video and meticulous hand-made works. Through dimensionality, repetition, and decontextualization my work makes the familiar unfamiliar and the ordinary strange; I want my artwork to make people perceive language and its influence from new and unique perspectives.
