Artist Statement
As an artist, curator and gallerist, collaboration is a medium that eases the transition between positions. I view all artworks as readymades to be considered for arrangement and rearrangement. In collaborating with my peers and incorporating their work, I hope to move past straight curation, appropriation, and institutional critique and closer to common authoring in contextualizing the work at hand.
