Artist StatementOrdinary, mundane, and common spaces act as expressive vehicles for the human body and mind. Because of this, I create a dialogue between humans and their intimate architectural spaces, usually the home. “Home” often times acts a symbol of safety and shelter. I use this idea of home and translate it into packaged form, stripped down bare and forced into a portable and playful form, much like a collage, curiosity cabinet or relic.

Within these pieces whether sculptural, functional or wearable, seemingly ordinary spatial elements such as moldings, cedar shakes or windows become materialistically empty yet narrative when view together as specimens. As homes and people grow and change in form, the idea of “home” easily becomes a part of everyday consumerism much like society’s convenience or material compulsions. Homes are recycled and devoured as spaces for safety, comfort and even self worth.
Metal, unlike memories which are fragile and fleeting is permanent. Metal is important for recreating memories of spaces as I easily manipulate the material much like we often do with memories. It allows me to grasp a memory and translate it into permanent physical form. The addition of sometimes using found materials such as wallpaper and photographs allows me to bring a more tactile, nostalgic and physically inviting material into my work.
