For a number of years now, I have taken materials from my professional social art practice in museums, and have attempted to reconfigure and transform them into personal and archetypal expressions of ambivalence, continuity, and universal meaning. Almost all of my current works contain some evidence of past activity, from paper strips of "to do" lists and phone doodles to subliminal sketches and practical notes. I try to catalyze analog "busy-ness" into more resonant messages.
