The collaborative process specifically seeks the multiplicity of dialogue; it is this process that has become a recent area of interest in my work. My past work has explored issues of identity, memory, and self as well as the interactions that take place between juxtaposed images and materials. Both my sculptural work and installations place familiar objects in unfamiliar settings, change the functions of the objects from utility to anxious memory, and are often laced with ambiguity. More recent work seeks to engage other artists in this dialogue both in and out of the studio – whether working collaboratively to create a tightly unified piece which engages the response of other artists, as in my recently formed collaborative media/sculptural group TangenT (http://tangent-art.net), or to open a more interactive dialogue with the viewer.

Exposing my students to new ideas and new materials has always been a highlight of my teaching. Conceptually, I challenge students to express ideas within a given set of boundaries and additionally challenge them to push those boundaries in ways that are intellectually stimulating. Concretely, I share my experiences every day in the studio through my approach to materials and techniques, through discussion of arts and artist, and through student research projects, which often find students working alongside me in my studio through an ACURA project or an internship. Additionally exposing my students to new ways of moving through landscape, site, and memory has led me to develop study abroad programs to Italy and Spain.
