Statement
I use an interdisciplinary approach, which includes: Craft, Architectural Model Making, Installation, Sculpture, Landscape Design, and Public Art to highlight social and environmental concerns in our society.
A watershed moment in the theory and practice of art making happened for me while viewing an exhibition entitled “Research Architecture” at The Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York. This selection of work from the The Fonds Regional d'Art Contemporain du Center (FRAC) in Orleans, France, was an eye opening survey of drawings, blueprints, and utopian models embodying conjectures on evolved living as conceived by visionary architects and artists throughout the 1960's and beyond.
Exposure to the overlap in art, architecture and engineering prompted me to make works that address concepts of utopia, utilitarianism, environmentalism and ideas about contamination and waste. Forms used in the architectural reality of our world connect to our ideas about our lives. Conceptual, natural and engineered objects can therefore be investigated and reconfigured to reveal our underlying relationships to the world at large.
I am most interested in opening a dialog about the environments and sculptures I create as a means of exposing our hopes and anxieties about the future. In blending art, science, research and experimentation, I seek not only to highlight issues but also to provide solutions; however insightful or practical, whimsical or meaningful.
