ARTIST STATEMENT

My art practice incorporates photography, film, new media, and collaborative work, transcending the specifics of the medium and offering a new understanding of the world, stressing the conceptual art-making capacities of each form.
 
My creative research is related to my work and studies in philosophy, theology, art education, audiovisual communication, and volunteerism studies. I merge traditional and digital image-making processes to explore the materiality and physicality of multidimensional images, objects, and environments. My work is focused on the representation and interpretation of memory, time and space, identity, gender, ephemerality and abstraction, rituality, religiosity, storytelling, dynamics of the individual and the collective, and the presence and absence of minority groups in historical archives.
