Abstract

Statement

Statement

My assemblies are made from recycled items, found objects, natural materials, and old craft and machine parts. I enjoy using the medium of assemblage & technology to express concepts and bygone days. Often beginning with my big idea then finding the parts coming together tell me, how to craft the object for real. I aim to be authentic and constructive, juxtaposing junk and technology with spiritual notions, relative reality, and some humour.
