If naming something is the first step of dealing with what is not yet known, I’m interested in the inverse. In my work, I explore what is possible when what is familiar becomes something other than what is initially expected. By re-contextualizing imagery pulled from my surroundings via collage and painting, I play with relationships between image and object, familiarity and strangeness to disrupt assumption and allow room for surprise.
