Artist Statement
I use my body as an activated and politicized site, bringing charged materials to it to envisage ‘insideness’ and externalize the subconscious. I make site-responsive and intimate time-based work both live with the audience as witness and in isolation in derelict buildings and remote landscapes with my camera as witness. Following my performances, sculptural objects, material traces and clothing are often left in the gallery as artifacts that haunt the space in the afterlife with late viewers. I view the photographic documentation of my performances as crystallizations of living images.
