ARTIST STATEMENT:
My own life's story compels me to find value in everyday, discarded objects. These items may be discarded by humans or by nature. I intuitively respond to the line, texture and composition of each object and disregard it's purpose or function. Once pulled out of context and presented alone, the object emits qualities of fragility, vulnerability and individual beauty. Every item I've drawn is meant to be closely examined. In doing so, the discarded object is acknowledged by the viewer and therefore redeemed.
In creating my drawings, I often use a pencil or ballpoint pen. These are the most humble and basic of implements. Using these common tools, I create sensitive, exquisitely detailed and somewhat abstracted narrative works that are often drawn on discarded surfaces. Not only does this body of work cause us to look at the environment around us differently, but it also causes us to reflect on the residue of our lives and of our own and ever-changing sociological and ecological footprint.
