StatementMy work is about the impact of human activity on our environment. I use a variety of materials in creating sculpture, assemblage and two-dimensional work including clay, plaster, metal, wire, wood, paper, textiles, and recycled manufactured items. I print, paint, dye, photograph, weld, stitch, tie, cast, mold, nail and screw my pieces together in the process of creating my finished pieces.
I create contemporary artifacts illustrating the affects of our actions on our fragile ecosystems.
