Statement

Statement

I work with discarded and reclaimed materials to make paintings, drawings and site specific work. My work draws upon my memories from childhood and in particular a memory of seeing dust motes illuminated in the suns rays in the door way of my grandparents home. I have used this memory as a catalyst to research and explore the properties of dust and our relationship we have with it.
