My work explores the subtleties of the ordinary human experience. I have discovered the power of the forms found in my surroundings. My work focuses on the subtle gestures of group interaction that illustrate commonplace relationships which often go unnoticed in everyday life. Depending on the changing relationships between the subjects or the settings in which they exist, people exhibit different signs and gestures, the nuances of which provide the viewer with insight into their own relationships.
