In progress

David Ireland summed my art practice up for me today when I read:

 I call myself a non-media installation artist. I prefer to explore without any end or purpose in sight, an active inquiry on an architectural scale. I just live my life and my art occurs in the process.

So this is my first post since I started graduate school at The Ohio State University.

I'm exploring my body by flattening out my skin similarly to a map.The process of me making these images allows for personal exploration and the ability to view myself in a new perspective.
