As a multi-disciplinary installation artist, my work deals with language within recurring themes of love, desire, loss and identity. What began as a practice of subversive acts - spray-painting double entendres, sexual innuendos and poetic come-ons across the city landscape - has evolved to painting scars that stand in for words on canvases that have been slit then stitched. Between these two treatments of language exist a myriad of others as I stencil, project, paint, bead, bead over, translate, codify, and absent. The thread that runs throughout my work is the personal and collective memory of a language wound – the desire to scratch a site of pain – the wounded space between people.
