In my work I use found objects that speak to past experiences as well as an aesthetic sense of color, form, texture and design. As an inveterate collector and a scavenger I revel in manipulating objects, presenting them in new contexts, giving new meaning to what may have previously been overlooked. The castaway is elevated to a place of honor, the mundane becomes precious and materials rusted, worn by age and discarded, are valued for their intrinsic beauty.
I haunt thrift shops, antique stores, garbage dumps, and curbsides. Machine parts, plastics, metal, manufactured remnants or just about anything is my muse.
