Artist Statement
Through material choices and subject selection my sculptural, linear constructions of wood, wire, screws, nails, and occasional unexpected items, engage subjects of particular and on-going concern to me.My activism was encouraged early during studies in art and design at UC Berkeley.As an environmentalist, my work often employs materials harvested from nature and agricultural sources with some recycled elements incorporated. I am attracted to humble materials and simple, direct methods of hand construction that I associate with basic, grass roots, human ingenuity about making things.
