I am a specialist in contemporary art, with particular interests in performance, audience participation, conceptualism, institutional critique, and the relationship between art and urban space. My work has a dual geographic focus in North America and in the former Yugoslavia and its successor states.

Through my study of the visual, audio, and textual archives of these projects, affect emerges as key

I hurriedly purchased “proper” tools and made much better progress. After a while I needed an outlet for my work and started to attend local craft fairs, selling work in order to fund more trips to the wood suppliers for
