My work is a colorful exploration of the absurdities of life and self. Each piece is either displayed as an individual work or is exhibited within a narrative group. At the individual level, these sculptures can be examined in terms of personality, expression, and infinite detail. While some sculptures appear comical and ridiculous, others appear more introspective. Optical properties of transparent glass aid in the magnification of encased elements. The notion of memory, thought, and mental clutter are important aspects of this work. When my work is displayed in a narrative group or installation it takes on new meaning as pieces relate to one another. Sculptural elements float through space and time, loosely associating with one another to create new works.
