Statement

Through my work, I hope that people will discover new ways to look at our complex and challenging world. My explorations examine the ties between history, science and culture; whether considering environmental degradation, conspicuous consumption, or the relationship between money and militarism. I work with a wide range of materials: bowling balls, folded tar paper, and most recently I’ve included photography and painting in my practice.
