I aim to create conversation from the interaction between objects, or images of them, and the language used to define them. I create work which leverages everything from installation-like mixed media sculptures and altered objects to large and small ceramic sculptural abstractions and paintings. My creative methods are rooted in exploring and expanding the physical and associative characteristics of an object’s original intention and to invent formulas which weave together, imagery, materials, and objects in a way that re-frames meaning at which point the object becomes a starting point for dialogue between our shared cultural experiences and assumptions.
