Artist's Statement
The human social condition, our ecosystem, political strife and the inextricable ways these things are connected is the basis of my art practice. The formal and the conceptual are intertwined in such a way that the materials and the forms they create, formulate the conceptual and experiential aspects of the work. Humor as well as sadness is invoked in order to bring an emotional resonance, what the work is about and what the work does is equally important and the same.
