My work is built from stuff that probably used to be other stuff. Now it looks like it could be something you think you know, but you just aren’t sure. I think about the pieces like b-roll, or a movie score - you listen and all the wonder and melodrama are halfway there. They are objects, but gain from the presence of something else; they are whole by bringing in outside noise. They hold you between knowing and known.The work explores the paradox of something being “finished”. When does “usefulness” end? Consumption is an illusion: there is only continuum.
