Much of my creative practice finds its footing in an affinity for the supernatural, the unusual and the oral histories that often accompany happenings or instances.  The ensuing story-telling, documenting and sharing are essential for myth to transform personal accounts into shared story, which then finds ownership and carriage through community. I have an interest in these retellings and the ways they are at times formally archived, creating an official and documented history to accompany folklore and urban legend. 

My work looks at headlines of the past and present, considering the bold and enticing language often used to achieve fear and stimulation when discussing marginalized groups in society. Selective in both palette and the use of text, my recent work adopts the postcard as a medium and a vehicle that by nature requires an autographic quality and evidence of journey. The postcard can be engaged as propaganda, memory, souvenir, and shared experience, while acting as a snapshot of both place and moment. Whether real, believed, or interpreted, the mania that can find presence in situations partners conceptually with use of the multiple, referencing handbill, postcard, street art, and poster.

The perspective, both communal and personal, to story, tradition, and document holds correspondence across the perception of what is imagined and what is experienced.
