My work investigates how aesthetic practices can expand research and how physical engagement with texts can challenge ingrained modes of interpretation. Situated in the interstitial space between reading and seeing, the work experiments with how visual, material, and collaborative forms of inquiry produce ways of knowing unavailable to either discipline alone.

​

Rather than treating reading as the extraction of meaning from a text, I approach it as a creative practice. Through drawing, printmaking, annotation, mapping, coding, and installation, I develop systems that make acts of reading tangible. These material interventions do not illustrate literature so much as translate its structures into visual forms that can be navigated, reconsidered, and experienced spatially.

​

I am interested in language as a structure that reveals, conceals, and organizes experience. Every system of representation privileges certain relationships while obscuring others. Rather than seeking a definitive interpretation, my work asks how alternative structures of attention might generate different understandings. Material processes such as annotation, layering, repetition, and accumulation become methods of thinking as much as methods of making.

​

The work emerges through an iterative process of continual revisiting. Reading, making, conversation, and collaboration become inseparable activities, each reshaping the others. Much of my research develops within long-term international reading groups composed of artists, scholars, translators, and writers, where interpretation itself becomes a collective practice. These conversations are not simply sources for the work but integral components of its construction.

​

Across projects, I investigate how knowledge is produced through systems—linguistic, visual, historical, and social. Rather than resolving complexity into singular narratives, the work embraces ambiguity as a productive condition, proposing that sustained attention, material engagement, and collaborative inquiry can generate forms of understanding that remain open, provisional, and continually evolving.
