My practice takes the shape of multi-disciplinary investigations into human nature. While mortality, impermanence and the confluence of the bodily and the metaphysical continue to be the major themes of my work and my primary areas of research, I am also interested in how we deal with these universal themes as individuals and as groups. I explore human reaction to the inevitability of death and the search for transcendence, and am intrigued especially by the ways in which we accept, deny, or evade the knowledge of our own impermanence.

My tendency towards working with multiple media and across disciplines stems from this desire to negotiate the gaps between representation and embodiment while remaining culturally nomadic and adaptable. Possessing a keen interest in both Zen Buddhism and Western mass-culture, I inhabit the globalized environment of my time and place, revisiting and destabilizing delivered wisdom and constructed distinctions. Further, I am interested in how the signifiers and philosophies of Buddhism shift between cultures, and how they are re-interpreted in the West, while simultaneously creating works which embody the philosophies on which they comment. I continue to be fascinated by human fears and passions, and it is primarily through the Buddhist and Western conceptions of impermanence and non-duality that I examine these qualities.

I view the role of the artist as one of service, critiquing accepted views and traditions while being free to celebrate them. The objects and images we make and use are both sophisticated and primal carriers of meaning, and I question these meanings without denying the power of the representation. Making use of recontextualized objects, original video, performative strategies, footage and sound appropriated from television and film, and the creation of spaces of reverence, my work blends experiential aspects of life and art with the representational. I inhabit imagery, symbol, light and action, and explore the ways in which they can be used to facilitate understanding. I interrogate the phenomenology of space and time through installation, the psycho-spiritual qualities of light through video, and the dynamics of personal interaction through performance. I direct my practice toward a realization of what it is to be aware.
