There are no Ideas but in things.
-William Carlos Williams
No object has inherent meaning.
Working with mixed media, painting and sculptural assemblage I explore the untapped potential of found objects and materials, colors and textures; ephemera plucked from the landscape and the studio floor. With these objects I work to encourage a further look at and into the things that surround us. What do they have yet to reveal about what lurks beneath the surface of themselves and us? How do we approach and understand them? I hope to compose with, draw out and generate hereto unseen connections between our ever-changing landscape of objects and us. By means of experimentation, I seek out the fragmented histories and poetic forms of these precarious, impermanent and imperfect objects. Examined and re-examined, made and unmade, formed and reformed or deformed, stretched and compressed, these objects are imbued with potential, meaning-altering energy.
