Artist Statement

While my does not demonstrate explicitly issues of sustainability, my process and materials do. I am constantly recycling and referencing images from art history and using discarded materials to make my work. As I create work in the studio, there are bits of materials that are discarded. But rather than treat them as trash I am able to recycle them back into new work. Like historical works of art, images re-appear in unsuspecting ways that refer to the past in order to move forward.
