Although sculptural, language and humor plays an important role in my work. Discussing serious subjects can be delivered in a cloak of humor more easily, much like stand-up comedians do. I try to deliver my work in similar rhythms and techniques. Titles function as theses that reveal the subtext of the work. By slightly altering common expressions or utilizing typos, mispronunciations, and accents, the work is intertwined with an awkward pause- a perceptual shift occurs. The viewer, like when in dialog, pauses to toggle between conflicting ideas in a phrase- both linguistic and visual.

My materials often carry cultural significance that is inherently folded into the whole work. They are often manipulated and crafted to function like their textual counterparts. Together, text and objects function as phrases that comment at, allude to, and explore asymmetric power relations.
