“The artist and audience are awarded equal status”
Jennifer Fisher, Performing Taste

My work has evolved from recording daily activities and interactions (by capturing the residue left from actions) to letting the activities and interactions stand as artworks themselves. I create communal events where social interactions occur. It is less about the signature of the artist and more about an exchange between the participant and myself. The participant becomes a collaborator and helps create the meaning and final outcome of my work. Rather than creating an object, I am transferring the creative control from myself to the participant by setting up parameters for an interaction to occur within.
