In my work, I create conceptual art in the form of fine art. Combining these creates a tension between the idea and the form, which I use to explore the tensions inherent in interactions between individuals and society, history and geography, as well as classification and control.

In my pieces — such as the Bureau of Bureaucracy, Deconstructing Colonialism, and Apart-Hate: A People Divider —I use the language of furniture to highlight how everyday documents affect our lives. Specifically, by embedding a variety of documents — both personal and institutional — in each piece, I explore the various ways in which these documents shape how we live and work.

The physical form of my work is inspired by the European Cabinets of Curiosity of the late 16th and 17th century, and the intarsia work of the Gubbio Studiola of 15th century Italy. Conceptually, I am influenced by contemporary social issues and my lifelong and ongoing engagements with social institutions, both local and global.
