THE
ARTIST’S STATEMENT -
“My recent work involves
the reclaiming disposable objects in mass to create two and three dimensional
works. Pieces can involve tea bags, matchbook strikes, plastic cutlery, pencils
etc. These items are generally disregarded and ignored by the everyday person.
Through the gathering of the discards of contemporary culture, I ask the viewer
to reconsider the function and value of these objects. I also reassign their
value by re-contextualizing them by creating a piece of art from them. Besides
utilizing the formal issues that interest me, based in the Minimalist school, I
also am making a commentary on the disposable nature of contemporary culture.”
