In a very broad sense, I create work to reinvent history.  I pull personal memories from current events, locations, and media imagery.  Often, my memories are skewed.  I take these illegible memories and I make them legible my inserting true history; a history provided by books, archives and news media.  My goal is to provide a current, tangible memory of collected history.

     This translation of factual history to modified personal narratives forces the viewer to confront their own narrative.  The viewer and I share a common source of information: history and its own interpretation of facts.  Specific themes, events, clips, and images sink their way into my pieces, allowing for this cross translation.  The variety of sensory information, however, pushes the viewer towards remembering particular facts, framing their memory within the guidelines I’ve provided.
