I create visual images utilizing the rebirthing and transformation of discarded machines and materials that prior to their reformation we many have called “junk.” My images, my reformed works, are constructed to further the environmental goal of conserving resources as well as the preservation of the memories of those who had previously designed, manufactured and used these materials. My work is founded on my understanding that the essence of creation is transformation while nothing remains the same, obsolesces and death are outdated and irresponsible concepts
The work has been published in Sculpture Magazine, and The New Earthwork / Art Action Agency… For a select list of publications visit my website.
