My work has involved the use of "Mark Making" in the creation of site specific installations in architectural settings. By using materials as varied as Boun/True Fresco and cliché-verre, the installations address the use of aesthetictformal elements as they effect the meanings of works of art. By incorporating the architectural elements of the site i.e. by using the wall as both support for objects and the skin of the room, the works direct the viewer to consider the experience of art as a totality. Color, which under traditional applications has come to signify emotive values in some aesthetic usages, can also be used to articulate the form of the work as it delineates space in both its physical sense, as it reiterates the surface of the wall and as it conveys the illusionistic qualities of a painted/photographic surface.

The photographic aspect of the work, with its use of printing out paper to measure and react to light, invokes the temporal. Theses works lead the viewer/observer to take into account not only the real time experience of the site but also the time frame of the installations existence. Time and place act as an immediate modifier of our experience with objects and the space they occupy.

It is with this foundation of concepts that my work has evolved to this multi level interaction of art and site. It is my goal to create works which present time and material in a new context, using the elements of the photographic process.

My work stands not in opposition to anything in Art but rather as an articulation of what is possible.
