Research focuses on the arts of the ancient Near East, which I approach from a combined perspective of formal / stylistic analyses and social / historical contextualizations. I am particularly interested in considering how art participated in intercultural interactions between the Near East, Egypt, and the Aegean. I see the arts as external mediators of social relations and study them as embedded within larger cultural environments. I am also fascinated by the effects that formal art historical properties of the art works might have had on ancient (and modern) audiences.
