Artist Statement

The ultimate goal of my work is to elevate both the manmade and recycled materials to a level that suggests that there is beauty in life after death and open the eyes of others to consider their role in the preservation of our Earth.

The foundation of my sculpture is primarily constructed with natural and recycled materials and then illuminated with halogen lighting. The main base of the frame is built of wood and metal while the interior components consist of the lighting, natural and manmade materials. The combination of these materials and lighting creates shadows on the surrounding wall surfaces and floors where the sculpture is displayed.
