"...Across my practice in video, images, and objects, my guiding methodologies are close reading, rehearsal, and translation. I stalk the moments when the definitions scripted into the role of a public sculpture, a Lenin monument, an archival photograph, or an iPhone application begin to break down. By revealing that which emerges in dissemination or between roles, that which begins off stage or outside of the frame, I invite the viewer into the strange, intimate, and contested space of rehearsal."
