My recent work explores the problem of knowledge and the limitations of 
Reason as a means of understanding both the internal and external 
world. In particular, I am interested in the mundane ideals that we 
encounter in our day-to-day lives, and how they structure our 
understanding of our physical, intellectual, and emotional worlds. In 
my work, I attempt to achieve these ideals through simple, repetitive, 
and labor intensive projects, which are drawn from the fundamental 
processes of science and mathematics: quantification, addition, 
division, measurement, mapping, and reproduction. The resulting 
processes - which range from the drawing of perfectly straight lines to 
the mapping of language and the body -are part lab experiment and part 
meditation. The work is produced as I attempt to perform these 
processes over and over again using only my hands, eyes, and basic 
tools. The resulting object stands as a record of my process of 
striving to achieve perfection, and having that desire frustrated over 
and over, despite the knowledge that the ideal was unachievable to 
begin with.
