My practice focuses on the studio as a lens through with which to investigate the relationship between artist and the public. The projects do not have a defined media a priori, but depend on the context at hand.

I propose an investigation on the dynamics of authorship. While the use of drawing is frequent, I have been employing installation, video, photography and performance. I am interested in the discourse between the artist and the public-- on the influence of the audience on the artist and social awareness within art making as a means of generating discussions about the artistic practice.

I seek to create an artistic practice with the artist’s work actively integrated into social life.
