Artist Statement:
My work deals with issues
of home and belonging, a
general sense of place and the
passing of time. It attempts
to illustrate the irony of
time’s transience in a fixed
setting, this in the context
of an enclosed space, an
isolated moment inside of
metaphoric walls. While the
materials are only meant to
allude to an actual place,
domestic objects and the
elements of everyday life are
easily recognizable and
purposefully assembled. Each
piece attempts to render both
a grounding in what is
familiar, as well as the
epiphany of a single moment
within this setting – images
of a home that may be
constructions of an inner
haven as well as actual
memories.
Assembled pieces are
constructed from natural earth
and discarded materials found
on ritual bouts of travel
throughout rural and urban
America. Raw or recycled, each
ingredient is born from a
different place and is often
covered with the indelible
physical markings of its own
history. “Home” then
ultimately becomes a
three-dimensional collage of
many places and many
experiences, the materials
conveying the importance of
the lives, stories and
locations to which they
originally belonged.
