My father used to drive a FUNMOBILE. It was a large blue van with block letters that would ramble among neighborhood cul-de-sacs, opening up the side doors to set up games. As an artist, this is who I have become: a creator of scenarios and instigator of play. I bring the car that delivers unanticipated services and the tent that sells unexpected goods

My goal as an artist is to prompt viewers into being involved, playing or laughing by being sincerely engaged. I use everything from food to printed materials, edibles, and services, as well as imagination, education and humor in an attempt to make a community wherever I go. I want art to take me out of the studio and into the streets, immersing and collaborating in service industry, science, local food or ecology.

Sometimes, I want to turn my art-making into a business. I want to have an excuse to approach all the occupations that my father told me I could have when I was twelve years old. So I’ve become, in the past, a taxi driver, a postmaster, a merchant, a baker, a gardener; each time learning skills applicable to life while being able to change the understood rules of the profession, tricking participants into rethinking their understandings of each of these roles.
