As an artist I am a subversive teacher. Producing visual-verbal paradox and pleasure is merely the means: my end is to turn the viewer’s curiosity back upon herself. My interdisciplinary visual art explores the connections between disparate pathways of perceiving, thinking, and feeling. Each project, whether site-responsive installation, community participatory action, or video, integrates some combination of disciplines---sculpture, drawing, writing, music, and poetry, embedded in a familiar physical or cultural environment. The viewer, propelled through actual space or intrigued by the sequence of a video, encounters non-verbal imagery joined with verbal stimuli such as baby-babble, repeated phrases, or odd orderings of formalized language. The attractive clash of medium seduces--- frustrates--- and ultimately rewards the viewer, who is made aware of her mind’s own creative effort to assimilate and account for its bewilderment.
