Artist's Statement
Many of my works use commonplace materials and objects. I respond to readymade objects that are often discards or flawed in some obvious way. Alterations in these familiar things elevate them and draw parallels to our own human predicament.
I am also interested in mimics and replicas. It is a happy moment for me when
I can create objects that are simultaneously convincing and yet blatantly absurd in their obvious artificiality.
