What does it mean to be an artist at this moment in time? Can I make work that is responsive and critical to the political and social moment without being didactic and reactionary? These two questions are at the center of all the work that I create, and they are an essential part of the way in which I work.

In an attempt to examine the structure of our mimetic desires and beliefs I create videos, installations, objects and multiples from my interest in the inner workings of contemporary Western culture. Additionally, I am increasingly concerned with describing for myself the philosophical “good life”, and my practice is a central part of that larger project. To this end, I am not an artist who is concerned with defining and sub-defining my practice, but I am an artist who desperately wants to meet the world at least halfway; I often try to do this through the most economical of means. This economy of forms allows the works to feel familiar, and at the same time the slight formal differences allow for the generation of new areas for discussion and consideration. As always, I hope the work is not a simple reiteration of what is known, but that it can be understood to be an argument for why we think we know at all.
