Artist's Statement
In my cross-disciplinary practice I scheme to reveal what is often hidden in plain sight,
using any and all means at my disposal to capitalize on what others have discarded,
taken for granted or are indifferent to. Materials are recycled based on how they appear
to resemble something else. For instance—the way a stick mimics a sword or magic wand.
I set about conjoining and manipulating them to create a newly contextualized ensemble.
I want to transform the overlooked into something novel, something of intrigue, humor
and or morbid curiosity.
The aim is to raise eyebrows—playing mischief with routine
convention—by presenting new things that are perceived to oscillate between
the familiar and illusion. This paradox lies at the core of my work and illuminates
allegorical possibilities specific to each project. This has been a consistent motif
throughout the arc of my creative development.
