Chance and control have become the two major themes in my artwork. This began with a series of lithograph prints, the "Vomit Etches". After sticking a finger down my throat I used my vomit to etch the limestone printing block and printed its raw surface on paper. The result was a pool of abstract forms which followed the veins and reticulations of the stone. When I showed this piece I included a video of the vomit etch process. After viewing the video documentation the audience had a tendency for an abject response to the printed images, recontextualizing their experience with the printed material. As this work evolved I substituted an alternative etching process, creating a similar aesthetic to the Vomit Etch. I also began responding to the abstract imagery, drawing from a database of architectural sketches, self portraits and visceral photographs to complete the composition. The final piece is the record of a process which explores the relationship between artistic choice and chance.

My work also challenges the relationship between artist and audience. In my Roto-Relief project, an interactive kinetic sculpture, the audience controlled how the piece would be viewed - what disc would be spun, what image would appear on the screen.

My current project is a public print installation in Cairo, Egypt, "UPCLOSE:  IN  YOUR  SPACE". This project responds to the individual’s experience, both public and private living in a mega-city: images of enormous residential structures and images of intimate private spaces, shown in a pedestrian walkway. Dependent upon audience participation the piece will continually change after it is constructed - based on how the audience wants to see the work.
