Artist Statement
I am a collector of things cast-off: the unwanted, abandoned, and discarded objects of everyday life. On daily walks through the city I revisit riverbanks, industrial outskirts, and thrift stores, with the possibility of finding something new and unacquainted; rejected objects and materials detached from their original function and context. These spaces become valuable repositories of information accumulated from the undercurrents of society, gathering places for life’s abject. Collecting what I find I begin a process of play by joining unrelated objects into sculptural arrangements that give them new potential both symbolically and formally. Human in their scale they suggest anthropomorphic forms, stand-ins for the human body and a by-product of human activity performed within the location of their finding; an object-embodiment of the past.
