My work is concerned with the dialogue between monuments and memorials and the 
meaning of decay and desecration/violence performed upon them.   I work with 
18” x 24” x 2” plaster panels.  They are cast so that each individual panel has 
its own frame and is a unique entity, yet is still mass-produced and semi-identical.  
They are then hung, piled up and leaned against walls and floors creating surrogate 
surfaces and architectural environments that are drawn and painted on, as well as 
etched and even smashed.  These are then encoded with fragments and traces of 
images and symbols taken both from a personal narrative and contemporary visual 
culture.  They are disembodied and manipulated—it is the abstract elements and 
structural  associations that form the narrative.  

The process of making the panels and assembling and painting them is a performance.  
The projects are often temporary assemblages created in storefronts and public spaces.  
There are two halves to every project: the one-person plaster panel factory; a 
minimalist perspective in which the materiality of the medium and the minuteness of 
difference versus the overwhelming sameness of the panels is explored, and the painterly 
narrative phase which encodes the panels with imagery and a loose narrative.  There is 
a cross germination of these methods, the plaster is “artfully” poured while the drawing 
and painting is obscured though dust, rubble and random breakages.  A common thread is 
the personal and historical act of erasing thoughts and destroying images in an effort 
to transform meanings.
