ARTIST STATEMENT
In my studio practice I explore aspects of daily life and the ever-changing fabric of American culture. As an artist, I research and discuss the neglected aspects of an American wasteland, such as forgotten architecture, transportation and communities I consider my concepts in terms of cultural transparency, for that reason I am often informed by my deep experience working with glass. The material itself is transparent and holds the possibility of revealing and bringing focus. These issues that occur on the fringes of society, in the periphery- I bring into acute focus, to challenge our assumptions about our civilizations’ morals and ethics. -
