My sculptural installations are composed from disparate elements – often everyday objects, materials, scrap, junk, and ephemeral odds and ends. These scavenged materials are supplemented with objects specifically acquired for their poetic sensibility. Through these works, I aim to unsettle, disrupt, and complicate dominant political narratives. This work examines the tension of living on a grassy knoll in the Atlantic while mediating concern for global conflict, genocide, and the re-emergence of fascist police states. The incandescent rage I feel when I think of current global issues has been condensed within this work; the loss of lives, the lack of empathy, and the suffering of our planet weigh heavily on me and I’m glad – to not be furious would mean to be dead inside.
