In my practice, I explore the role of art in social change and various forms of social practice, especially the ways it manifests in political, public, and community art.
I find inspiration in the gut-wrenching absences of Doris Salcedo works, the tension and vulnerability in Michal Rovner’s multimedia art, the elegance of Ann Hamilton’s immersive installations, the considerations of power and class in Marisol’s sculptures and drawings, and the collaborative nature of Tania Bruguera’s artwork. Even the precariousness of Thomas Hirschhorn informs my art practice at times. And while I can understand why materiality is considered the basis for the aesthetic experience in contemporary art, I do feel comfortable moving toward meaning-making through conversation and debate as well as making traditional object-based work.
