As a child I engaged in the activity of making forts, houses, and spaceships.  I drew elaborate plans and used toys, clothes, or bedding to render my creations in two and three dimensions, from drawings of treehouses to creating fortresses of solitude.  The process of making such spaces was used to metaphorically transport myself somewhere else, as a fantastical escape from my present.  Now I employ similar processes to be transported into a deeper understanding of myself.  I am interested in the experience of space, and how a space can both alter and be altered by one’s mental state.  While the materials I utilize are no longer toys, they are still used with the same sense of experimentation and exploration as before.
