  In my recent work, I explore the linear language of drawing in sculptural space. Expanding on the lexicon of gestural abstraction, I deploy colored monofilament, mosquito netting, plastic mesh and other synthetic materials in site-specific, largely temporal installations. I mean to construct a kind of meaty ephemerality—an accretion of marks and their shadows delineating maelstroms of visual commotion; a teeming, jittery expanse in suspended animation. The resulting perceptual antics conjure psychic noir, shock corridors, dust, shadows, detours, weather.
