Profile/CV
The central inquiry informing my practice relates to how the object or the theoretical object operate in relation to ideas of spiritual transcendence, mystical existence or just simply the experience of being. I am most concerned with how the allegory, symbol, or fetish object functions or fails to function, as a conduit for these states of being. Does the lure of the object as fetish lead to an animistic trap? Does the animistic form become rebellious as an object; either by way of supernatural wrath or by becoming disappointingly inert? I'm curious about how human experience is shaped by the need for containment for that which is transitory; and about how the theoretical object must ultimately, continuously destroy itself in order to exist.
