STATEMENT
My work spans media encompassing painting, sculpture, installation, photography and video. By stealing from my observed environment, the work borrows and recreates familiar objects of my surroundings, re-contextualizing them in compositions concerned with color, form, and pattern. Drawing inspiration from window-dressings, production sets and commercial photography, the work simulates these commercial settings through abstract landscapes. The imagined history of the found and crafted objects influence the direction of the work and assigns a personality to the things themselves.
