General Artist Statement
The spectral is a point of inspiration in my practice. I interpret the spectral as a mediator inhabiting the gap between various opposing realms. For instance, it may exist suspended between past and present times or blur the fantastic with the ordinary. I use it as an ideal vehicle for the transfiguration of the everyday. Generally, my work includes an implied gesture and results in the merest suggestion of a narrative.
