My work is inspired by the ontological questions which explore the nature of existence and experience.  I ask through dilation, deconstruction, and examination.  I find resolutions through naming, ordering and reconstructing.  I ask ‘What Is There?’ because I believe composition affects function and I ask ‘Why?’ because understanding affords us choice.  Becoming more aware of what’s going on allows us to work with the elements involved more efficiently and absolutely.  We, then, are able to think and behave in ways less contradictory to our truth (whatever we decide that to be), ultimately allowing us to more thoroughly enjoy our lives.
