Thoughts 2026

I’m obsessed with the construction of us-how our vulnerable bodies can contain such enormous contradictions. We can be dangerous, generous, inflict horror and pain, give and receive extraordinary love. We want to belong, to be seen, to possess, to survive, to become something. And all of that happens inside cultures we’ve inherited and helped to create. How do we push against those structures-or not? What needs to change? What needs to remain, or be made even more possible?

Intimacy, physicality, desire-the need to belong, to be loved, to fight back, to touch and be touched, to have power and to give it up. I’m drawn to the places where tenderness and violence collide, where beauty can hold something terrible, where what we want and what the world allows us to be come up against each other.

The work begins with a question, an idea, something I can’t resolve. The concept determines the form; a photograph, a painting, an encounter, an installation. Whatever the medium, I need the idea to become physical. I want you to feel the work before you have to make sense of it.
