Artist's Statement
With the accumulation of commonplace materials, I create works of monochrome abstraction. My installations are formed out of materials that are meant to be used then thrown away. It is the massive buildup of ordinary materials reconfigured into wall and hanging pieces that are the basis of my practice. Changes in light and perspective alter the viewer perception of each piece with every viewing making the physical experience necessary to fully comprehend an artwork’s nature. With each installation, ideas of labor and mind-numbing repetition clash with waste and our disposable culture.
