Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
My work explores systems of distribution and the ways in which the meaning of objects shifts as they circulate through the world. A central focus is the book—not only as a physical object but as a malleable framing device.
Since 2006, I have been developing an ongoing series of poster-sized drawings. In recent iterations, I have used the structure of the “press sheet” as both a formal and conceptual device. In commercial book printing, pages are organized into 16-page signatures and printed out-of-sequence on large sheets. These sheets are then folded and trimmed to produce the finished publication. My drawings echo this process, presenting collections of eight image-pages that suggest a book in an unfinished or speculative state—one the viewer must mentally reassemble.
This fragmentation allows for an open-ended relationship to narrative and form. Subjects are never fully fixed; rather, they emerge like ghosts from constellations of pages.
Recent projects have incorporated long term site studies as the focus of the research: including a year-long site study of a farmer's field north of Toronto that is the home to Richard Serra's semi-abandnoned land art work, Shift (1970).
