Concrete Legacy, 2009
A photographic journey through empty highways, bridges, and overpasses, this essay focuses on the visual forms that combine into the mundane elements of the urban landscape. In so doing, a solitary peacefulness and sometimes emptiness is found from the setting of our daily commute.
Counting Project, 2007-
My continuing exploration of the notions of commodity, quantity, and the passing of human existence through the process of counting. Images of 1-19838, 19839-37617 are from the 97th Annual of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, PA. Images of 1-22108 are from the University of Pittsburgh Studio Arts [...]
Untitled, 2007
This window space is reminiscent of a storefront window, a space which is normally vibrantly decorated with stylish fashion objects or other trendy commodities. In short, it is a space of consumption. However, my use of it replaces mannequins, brand names, dynamic graphic design and alluring color theory with a personal field of handmade marks. [...]
Pathways, 2007
‘Pathways’ is a series of ball point pen drawings that serve as aesthetic maps of my subjective and personal thoughts.

A metaphysical framework composed of an interest in the [...]
Untitled, 2007

The viewer is left isolated from the actual event in space and time and is instead confronted by an endless continuum of the destruction of forms. The adjacent chair, lamp and end table [...]
Unititled, 2006
Untitled is a tree built using screws, wire, sheet metal and found parts of other nearby trees. Through the crude conglomeration of natural fibers and metal that hold the tree together, a disjointed form stands amidst a natural expanse of forest.
The work illustrates the raw and childlike nature in which we alter the world around [...]
The World Slows Down, 2006
A short film exploring the passing of existence around an individual.
Shot entirely on a 3CCD MiniDV camcorder.
Goodnight, 2006
‘Goodnight’ is an animated film that explores the notion of interaction between form and color, emotion and the physical realm, art and the viewer. It is a visual progression working jointly with an original music composition to create a transitory passage of quiet and unassuming shapes that form an ambiguous environment.
Using manipulated abstract photographs, the [...]
Untitled, 2006
These digitally created images serve as expressions of introverted melancholic feelings in response to global civilization and human existence. Each of the images form their own quiet and ambivalent response to the vagueness of time, place and identity within the information age, as well as the globalized contemporary culture we live in.
Electronically generated, the large [...]
