Artist Statement:
I am inextricably drawn to
surface dirt and decay, the
fragments found and
imperfections revealed in the
rural landscape: neglected
pockets of land, dumping
grounds, rickety outbuildings,
overgrown patches of scrub,
weather-beaten walls,
wind-gathered litter or
coastal debris. These areas
