I take objects out of their everyday contexts and rework them, sometimes in incongruous materials, or by fragmentation, by shifts of scale, or in recombination with other elements. In doing so I seek to activate my viewer and explore modes of knowing, question basic assumptions, and expose the limits of truth. Nietzsche said that truth consists of all perspectives and Gödel proved mathematically that there are always truths within truths that remain unprovable. I revel in their implied ambiguities. I also crave order, definition, consistency, and familiarity. My work becomes a dialogue between the two and lies somewhere between the sweetness of decoration and the bitterness of satire. It springs from the surrealist past and the eclectic materiality of the recent postmodern. It is a playful dialogue between the everyday given and the absurd that lurks behind.

My current work explores packaging and other everyday discardables, shifting them to the foreground of a discussion of form and function.
