Artist Statement:
I work mainly with mixed
media paintings and
assemblages composed of found
metal, wood, clothing,
plastic, and paper. I treat
the inner and exterior
perceptions of discarded
objects as metaphors for the
gaps between perception,
memory, fiction and history.
Many of the objects are found
in or nearby my home...
