Artist Statement:
I am in love with organic
forms, string theory, and
compound complex curves. I am
obsessed with the malleability
of matter.
The forms in my work are
derivative of nightmares I had
when I was a child. I practice
using things that people tend
to detest (junk mail, litter,
waste, nightmares) and
transforming them into things
that people love. To me,
making art is a meditative
practice in alchemy,
enantiodromia, positive spin,
acceptance, balance, or a
combination of related ideas.
If there is a negative or
downward trajectory of motion
inherent to a material, I like
to focus my energy on changing
that direction. For example,
the work I've been doing with
plastic bottles -- without
intervention, used plastic
bottles have basically 2
options: becoming landfill, or
maybe getting recycled. In the
past year, I have intercepted
approximately 20,000 bottles
from the waste stream, turning
them into art instead of
allowing them to go into
landfill, the Pacific ocean,
or the environmentally costly
recycling process.
Junk mail shares a similar
fate as the bottles, making it
an appealing art material for
me. The activity of opening up
the mail and finding a
depressing mass of garbage and
