About
I am a photographic artist from Pennsylvania, based in Philadelphia. Making pictures is a process of revealing what is visceral for me, seeking that which unveils artifice. In the studio, I re-materialize photographs, fixating on the surface of the work and surface tension that arises in translation. Welcoming noxious color, evidence of an image’s chemical makeup, and visible surface intrusions, the resulting work is graphic and bucolic, and it contends with its own sheen. I, and my work, are concerned with the precipices capitalism creates. I aim to describe, with urgency, American dynamics of access, glut, and irony, and to bring closer what is held at arm’s length.
I’m also a big-picture-minded designer for those in need of artwork over creative. I build worlds alongside my clients in real time, creating work that converses with its present, with what has come before, and, hopefully, with what comes next.
