artist statement

My art practice utilizes experience in the building and design industry to investigate the concept of shelter. Shelter is defined as protection, asylum or sanctuary, and humans build physical, as well as emotional shelters. My art explores the relationship between these two aspects through the creation of architectural environments. The shelters speak not only of the individual connection between the body and its protection, but also the correlation between shelter and the human condition. Each piece is a shell in which one enters into, eliciting a response that is both physical and emotional. Often, responses are recorded and exchanged, encouraging a dialogue that questions the ideas around aspects of shelter.
