Artist’s Statement – “I am a modern-day street alchemist, making beauty in the rubble. Salvaging and manipulating cast-off materials, I transform the mundane into neo-surrealist sculpture, drawing characters from my subconscious into the world. Recycling is important to the process, and I use scrap materials from a variety of sources in my projects. With each new work I strive to break boundaries. My art explores expression, gives life to animal and human creatures, and reveals magic and humor. I want viewers to have reaction, to take a journey of imagination and perspective that makes them feel encompassed by a different work.”
