artist's statement
We
are naturally drawn to relics of days gone past. In my
artwork, I fuse this nostalgia with "visionary" art -
art often made by people using scrap material and
rough construction. Like these artists, I'm not a
"junk sculptor" because my focus is not on the found
object itself, but on how I can use objects to fulfill
my vision. I employ this technique as a metaphor
implying the bond between generations "making do" with
available materials and the cultural legacy of values
and ideals.
I hope you enjoy the work!
