Artist's Statement

My creative research is a multi-disciplinary practice that incorporates traditional printmaking, drawing, photography, and digital imaging skills together. I am interested in themes of labor, industry, place, memory, and history. I likewise incorporate underlying notions of politics, technology, ecology, and economics in relation to my themes. I am also interested in the intersection of human and machine culture through my use of imagery and artistic practice.
