The objects depicted in my paintings exist as both precious artifacts in loaded spaces and meaningless commodities in generic environments. Likewise, my installations explore the room as both a painting space and as a container for paintings. In both bodies of work, I’m interested in how the images themselves and the space in which they reside acts as carriers of meaning.
