My research is shaped by a lifetime of working with how meaning is constructed and interpreted through art making and visual systems. Informed by decades of experience in film and video production, artist representation, and a sustained studio practice, my inquiry considers creative work as a site where perception, authority, and value are negotiated. I approach art making as a form of thinking, one that registers time, attention, and intention through process. Across media, I am interested in how meaning is established through framing, circulation, and material conditions, and how forms of knowledge become legible, credible, or naturalized within cultural contexts.

I have worked directly with the production and framing of visual narratives that shape perception and guide interpretation. This work involved not only producing images, but also identifying artists and visual strategies aligned with specific conceptual and affective goals. Over time, this sustained interpretive labor sharpened my awareness of how meaning often operates implicitly, raising enduring questions about authorship, affect, legitimacy, and cultural power.

Central to my research is long-term engagement with eastern philosophies, which inform my understanding of impermanence and relationality as methodological tools rather than abstract concepts. Rather than treating meaning as fixed, I am interested in how it emerges through practice, duration, and use.

Current research interests include the transmission of knowledge through practice, the role of context in shaping interpretation, and the ways cultural, ethical, and economic value are produced and preserved within creative systems.

Practice

My current practice is rooted in textile art as a way of thinking through structure, rhythm, and material restraint. Working primarily in handweaving, tapestry, embroidery, and mixed media, I approach traditional fiber techniques as flexible frameworks rather than fixed references. Landscape, balance, and personality often serve as points of departure, not as images to depict, but as conditions translated through repetition, symmetry, and tension.
