In our society consumption remains one of the few constants, the addictive epidemic has conditioned us to identify through our possessions. This desired ownership has existed from the very beginning of the building of our nation, but has become a convoluted tactic to distract. As our commodities accumulate so does the waste we produce and prolonged is the race to evade reflection of self.

      My work looks to uncover the power of that which is left as a byproduct of this incessant exchange. I find it necessary to pay homage to found material because it represents stories untold or forgotten. This only begins a discourse that revolves around the well-being of oneself as well as those around. I allow found objects to inspire and direct me to touch on qualities that generally go unnoticed. This can be inconvenient for some but the raw nature of my work does not look to comfort but rather challenge its spectators. Just as we have essential qualities that can get buried under a fabricated facade, found materials remain wounded from neglect to reveal that primary layer of content. When such charged objects are joined with glass, represented through a variety of techniques, the aforementioned confrontation is amplified.
