Connection and support are consistent themes throughout my work. I create found object sculptures that often need a wall to act as a stabilizing force. By maintaining a presence both on the wall and the floor, these forms straddle the space between two and three-dimensional planes. I collect pieces of things, usually unrecognizable from their original state (singular pieces of objects, memories, etc.) and deconstruct them, only to reassemble them into stacked forms. I build relationships between the various items based on formal issues such as shape, color, and pattern, while also taking into account the evidence of past actions (a cut, a brush stroke, etc.) contained in many of the incorporated parts. I am interested in isolating pieces of the whole, and then reconstructing them to illustrate how combining disparate objects, along with the associations we assign to them, derives different meanings.
