With my work, I feel like I'm spinning through some microfiche of untold stories that have been hidden within seemingly ordinary artifacts, words, and spaces, It involves pausing between lines, resting at the uneven end of a mark—a focus, if only for an instant, on a microscopic particle of information. It directs attention to the seemingly invisible or indecipherable, offering an alternative gaze past the chosen aperture. It's an invitation to pay attention to another kind of reality, unguided and untethered.
