Artist Statement

Premise for work:
1) I would like to account for, or reconcile, or describe the disconnect between presence and representation.
--Things to consider:
a) Translational problems between the real and the represented.
b) Accurate representation of what is represented.
c) Connotative difference between equivalent entities. (Synonyms, images, etc.)
d) Defining/distinguishing the one/the many (elements, compounds, entities, etc.)

2) Areas of interest:
a) Language (colloquial speech and formal notation)
b) Iconic images ("definitive imagery") and life as experienced (for example, cumulative effect of print/broadcast media images of "loving" [for example] and the real-life experience of "loving"; both physical and emotional)
c) Animal behavior as described/defined vs. human behavior as described/defined

Summary: I am interested in problems of definition, editing, and translation
