I am an American multimedia installation artist currently based in London. My work investigates the transmission of collective memory, public narrative, and political history in the context of post-internet politics. 

​

Through layered imagery spatialized in sculptural constructions, I reflect on how digital and physical institutions of public memory construct and distort meaning and substance: manuscripts become manipulated, histories overwritten, and data distorted; this process remains cloaked beneath an illusion of technical objectivity and abstract precision. 

​

The materials and processes I use challenge expectations of stability and permanence, highlighting the visible and invisible infrastructure which shapes contemporary communication and relationships. I juxtapose materials traditionally associated with permanence (steel, plastic, oil paint) with precarious elements (translucent paper, melting ice, water-soluble fabric, exposed wiring) using pronouncedly ad-hoc system (magnets, fishing wire, wago connectors, tube clamps). 

​

My current research revolves around developing a modular system, or “kit,” consisting of prints, frames, mechanical components, and electrical elements. This modular system enables me to rapidly assemble temporary interventions tailored to a chosen site. To substantiate this structural “kit”, I print images from a digital “thesaurus”, an archive of open-source found images and personal archives; the images in this visual repository reference both the physical and digital infrastructure of political, cultural, and economic institutions. 

​

My background in politics and classical language translation informs my examination of tensions between the formal, somewhat impersonal structures of knowledge transmission (archives, datasets, and other forms of historical documentation) and the informal, often disruptive, and markedly human systems in which these structures operate.
