My work continues to be sculptural responses of my day-to-day exposure in the current politically divisive climate I find myself trapped; they are a distillation of the endless cycle of news and events that affect us all.
Working primarily in mixed media constructions, I look for the quiet beauty in ordinary, marginalized, and discarded objects and their connection to a larger world. Recent works have grown out of decayed pieces of metal, bone, and other found objects and how they serve as metaphor for the society in which we live.
