Why do I do what I do? Most of us walk through life seeing such a small percentage of what is in front of us that it is very compelling to me to try and grab that inattention and capture it for a minute or two with something unexpected. I am not afraid to use humor or whimsy to grab that attention. A few of my pieces are interactive and I encourage touching, and in some cases, trying on. I also have great interest in re-using materials as a way to honor and value the past. While not trying to recapture the promise of a bright and better future these bits and pieces recall, I do feel a connection to our innovative nature and want to honor that connection. Also, I get to use some really cool tools.
