About My Work
Through my work I explore the elusiveness of dreams and memory by joining together molded forms in unlikely combinations, I transform kitsch elements into complex pieces with a rich and relevant focus. The juxtaposition of shapes in my sculptures may at first seem haphazard but is intentionally crafted to mimic the elusiveness of memory, dreams and experiences as they advance and recede over time.
The work in this show is titled “The Weapons Series,” I incorporate images of men, women and children, into a variety of war-related objects to reflect more deeply on violence and on those upon whom violence has had the greatest impact.
