My work involves a dual practice of directly playing with graphic icons and oral history of film. Symbols from our every day interest me in their intent of clear communication for their target audience, be it a broad mass or a select, inclusive group. A simple image can register immediate meaning or cause curiosity or fall flat. In the form of banners, posters and film I ask questions of their effectiveness or ultimate failure. I am drawn to simple forms of communication and their potential when they are mass produced and take heed in following their trajectory throughout history to the present day.
