With conspicuous consumption everywhere we look, I present possible solutions for our detritus. I create a glimpse into amazing possibilities for discarded things by using recycled products in my work. By fabricating familiar objects with atypical materials, I provoke the viewer to further explore my chosen media, and encourage thought about how we assign value to objects.

With The Sum of its Parts, I provoke the audience to further explore my chosen media and imagery, and hope to encourage thought about how and why we assign value to objects. Manipulating materials while recontextualizing form allows me to change connotation. Surprising silhouettes and textures create a kaleidoscope of shapes and shadows that require further investigation of the material by the viewer. Being attracted to texture, wanting to touch and explore with your hands and possibly being hurt by something you feel you might trust and/or count on forces a reassessment.

Recycled steal belted radial tires, rebar and rope. 2013.
The hypnosis of everyday life keeps the wheels constantly spinning. In a society that is (literally) ‘driven on wheels’ I find the cycle confusing and dizzying. Life rolls on and continues just as freely as the wind blows.

Sometimes Hope is hard to see, Sometimes Hope seems to arise in the strangest of places, Sometimes Hope is so much bigger than ourselves, Sometimes all Hope needs is to be seen, Sometimes Hope can change shape & direction and can even seem to vanish, Sometimes Hope can change your perspective
When the sun illuminates this sculpture, the shadow casts the word “Hope.” In the morning the shadow faces west, then disappears at noon making all hope seem lost, until it reappears in the afternoon facing east. The shadow fades as the moon rises and the sun and the shadow rests for a new day. The sculpture is created using objects related to Warwick's history including a waterway culvert, hay bale, ring of an historic Warwick tree that George Washington passed, and materials from the Warwick Playground build were collected.
