I interpose objects of the everyday to distort our sense of space, explore our ability to inhabit rooms, and merge the dreamlike with the rigid.  My geometric objects and paintings focus on materiality to investigate light, shadow, and the weirdly functional.  I think of paintings as they exist in the home, using us to give them purpose.  And inversely, objects become paintings to question abstraction and reality.  My work focuses on the acute and the polite, the domestic and the utilitarian.
