I am an artist, writer, and performer interested in the ways in which art becomes a public language or a publicly shared experience. My visual work employs the idioms of conventional sign making, and is frequently designed for site-specific purposes. My performance work explores the notion of the public concert, and tries to deliberately tamper with the relationship between the performer, the stage, and the audience. Recently, I have further fused my art making and performance interests by designing and building performance scuptures. My hope is that these artistic investigations will pull me into a deeper understanding of the differences between public and private, between fame and obscurity, between the personal and the universal.
