Statement:

​

My work examines the interplay between information and power hidden within physical and information landscapes. I explore these landscapes by collapsing the vernaculars of tourism and education, creating and repurposing photographs, textbooks & filmstrips, sounds, maps, and journals. Within the resulting work, questions of personal and systemic responsibility merge with nostalgia and invite the viewer to question how information is commodified, controlled, and believed.
