My artistic practice is a search for in-between places.  Transitory-scapes that exist on the edge of historical pasts, omnipresent realities and unsure futures. These places are created at the same time as they are discovered; they deal with the idea that hegemonic images and values have penetrated all cultural space.   

 Being a resident of Hawai'i, my work is ‘just east of west’. I’m influenced by the diversity of pacific island cultures, as well as the global manufacturing of paradise – an imaginary force of idealized culture that is nevertheless economically and corporately driven. 

I often explore the sociological and political weight of ideology, similes of plague and invasive dogmas coexisting in a utopia that has gone wildly wrong. My work uses a clinical, sometimes science fiction esthetic; representations fashioned in multi-media sculpture, installation, drawing and time based video and sound. 

I work intuitively, but my intuition is augmented with intellectual inquiry that is deeply rooted in both field and literary research. My work is very process oriented and ideas are often nurtured over long incubation periods. I do not see any individual piece as something that is final in its manifestation; rather, I see each work realized as only a moment of clarity expanding upon the realization of a much larger picture.
