My sculptures, installations, photographs, and drawings, are informed by a daily existence rooted in an aesthetic that is fertile, vast, combustible, inclusive and malleable. I draw inspiration from a multitude of cultural and aesthetic resources, yet I am not defined by any of them. Employing a minimalist simplicity of form with an emphasis on process and unconventional materials, elements, and substances that inherently possess low monetary yet high subjective value such as black archival masking tape, felt pads, uncooked black eyed peas, matchsticks, archival glue, broken pieces of glass, oil & heat resistant antistatic unimatch rubber, fire residue, Black wrap aluminum foil, and tree logs. My attempt is to rewrite these objects of familiarity and infuse them with new symbolic meaning and currency.
