Statement
My work has become increasingly influenced by objects-as-medium... collected scraps from Capitalistic culture. Symbolic forms emerge when otherwise unrelated objects are melded together uniting thought and physical perception. I live in a society which is heavily inundated with messages and products emphasizing physical appearance and material consumption. I walk behind this barrage, gather the tossed away remnants and put them in my work. Once captured in art, they begin to reveal truths and absurdities about ourselves and our values. The art then leads us beyond the material realm. It is through art that I am able to make sense of life as we know it and imagine life beyond what we know.
