Artist Statement

My art installations are a contemplation of and comment on our manufactured perceptions of nature. We as a culture are defined by the objects we mass-produce, consume, and throw away. I collect these objects and assemble them into congested installations, in essence using as my resource the refuse of consumer culture that usually ends up in landfills and yard sales, what you might call “the backside of the mall.”
