Distilling collected material into anthropomorphic forms, my works address the cross-section of personal narrative, cultural heritage and a shared human condition. My works creates an ongoing mythology that speaks of life and death, birth and decay. Its focus is considering every perspective and then shedding, creating rituals of rebirthing and initiation, of reevaluating, dismantling and rebuilding “self” through natural and man-made materials. My hope is that viewers will experience their own initiation ritual for the release and (re-)introduction of our shared anatomical foundations.
