While my practice is interdisciplinary in nature, there is a common root in the poetics and language of photography. I consider this root to be widespread and influences various material forms, such as writing, sculpture, installation and video. Through my work I enact poetic queer narratives that negotiate intimacies, tensions, eroticsms, subtleties, and psychic desires. In varied levels stories emerge, combining and contradicting to depict lyrical installations of contemporary connection, intimacy, desire and abjection. Installations become poems in space, bleeding and twisting together to form abstract narratives of longing.
