STATEMENT

I observe banal objects and through close examination, find inspiration and artistic expression. Concentrating on the formal characteristics, I make marks, leave alterations, and change inherent functions. The process I incorporate uses and re-uses the whole of its parts through dissection, interpretation, repetition, and assemblage.
