Artist Statement

Through photography and installation, I explore emotions, sexuality, and interpersonal relationships, focusing on the public versus the private in queer & nontraditional partnerships.

My work ranges from the nude and sexually explicit photographs and self-portraiture to sound, video, and image installations. I consider the nuances of expression and inflection in verbal and nonverbal communication, and their effects on the attitudes, actions, and identities in queer relationships. Through the public display of private relationships, I advocate discussion about the types of connection that are valid in contemporary society and, more expansively, about the nature and breadth of human sexuality.
