  I’ve relished reading and listening to stories for as long as I can remember. I gravitate to installation artists who work in a narrative vein, such as Rebecca Horn, Ann Hamilton, and Juan Muños. I’m also influenced by architectural models, dollhouses, Duchamp’s “Box in a Valise,” and Cornell’s constructions. These works are often miniature period rooms that exist inside objects, such as reproductions of entire libraries within standard-sized furniture. I begin pieces by writing essays and stream of consciousness texts, which are sometimes written as a part of the books within books.
