Artist Statement
My work is a combination of printed matter, collaborative publication, community projects, and alternative processes that examine our relationship to nature: nature as armor, nature as sanctuary, and the intersection between the imaginary and the concrete.
Deep ecology and the theory of indistinguishability and glitch as a mode of disruption inform my conceptual and material explorations. Being present in nature is an essential part of my studio practice where I recharge, observe, document, and collect. My current archive from these excursions contains more than 12,0000 artifacts and includes photographs, drawings, handwritten notes, and found objects. I deconstruct, alter, and collage elements of the archive to create the imagery present in my prints and publications.
About Us:
The Phaze 2 Gallery is a cultural contact point between the Shepherdstown community and the outside world of contemporary art. We primarily exhibit emerging artists who are working to elevate the way our visitors think and see by challenging the popular concepts and traditions of their disciplines. Our intimate, versatile gallery venue offers artists the freedom to experiment and refine new approaches in their work before moving on to larger exhibition sites. As an instructional tool for the Department of Contemporary Art and Theater of Shepherd University, the Phaze 2 Gallery provides a discursive arena for our students, exhibiting artists, community, and art faculty.
