Lives & works in Brooklyn, NY

 

Working primarily with found and salvaged objects, recent work deals with the ideas of space and conditions that creates home and place. Common threads explore the possibility of mobility and nomadic lifestyle or the roots that stabilize a home space.

Many pieces critique society and culture as influenced by cultural anthropology.

The choice to reuse materials is made in consciousness of conservation as well as the interest inmaterials that inherantly contain elements of meaning from previous use.
