In my pieces I usually include images from photos I have taken and forms that I have created myself from daily life. I will turn the images into screens to print onto the casting slip, and make casts of the forms I fabricate. I feel that this strengthens the concept that it is the daily moments that make our lives what they are.

I make work out of fragments as I feel that this is a metaphor for the way our lives are…seemingly disjointed and unrelated pieces that together make up a cohesive whole. I make casts from rather mundane materials as I feel this underscores the moment-by-moment footprints of our lives.  My goal is to supply the audience with a source for thought and personal speculation rather than present a didactic point of view; an attempt on my part to allow the audience (and myself) to experience the poetics of ambiguity.
