In my research-based multidisciplinary work, I unpack the hidden history of everyday American leisure culture. In watercolors, collage work, digital illustrations, ceramics and site-specific vinyl installations, I probe mythology erected by advertising, contrasting facade with fact, sometimes within a single work. Immersed as a child in 1990s Silicon Valley, a place split between the primordial past and a technological future, my today work evokes a secondhand nostalgia for the built landscape Americans construct and soon cast aside.
