Since I was very young, I've thought about things in a logical manner, coming up with solutions that would not be considered normal, such as breaking up problems into small parts, dealing with each one individually. My curiosity lead to taking apart mechanical objects to see how they functioned to building my own toys. Becoming easily bored with regular lessons in grade school, I preferred to be a hands-on student. This has continued with my interest in 3D media.

     I look at art and see visual interest, a simple construction with a couple of paperclips and pens could have the same affect on someone as a master’s painting. I am interested in providing visual stimulation through installation artworks. Most of my work can be displayed in a non-gallery environment. The work “L” is meant to be seen in a field, distinguishing the painted and processed wooden 4x4 studs from the natural environment.

     The strength and weaknesses of each material consideration dictates the direction of a work. Plaster would be used for a piece that is meant to break, concrete is used when long term strength is needed. Steel would be used when a piece is to be airy and wood when weighty, lights can brighten a piece and fabrics enclose and darken. The inspiration for my work comes from conversations about the duality of art, graffiti on the streets that question graffiti as vandalism and various mechanical parts in technology.

     So through these installations, the individual parts of my work can be associated together creating a whole, solving the initial problem I have set for myself.
