Found objects and mixed media; 2012
Rudimentary functions are built into each of the works in attempts at repurposing these objects detritus with invented utilities. Decorative objects take on structural roles and building materials are unnecessarily ornamented. The objects detritus are retrofitted into larger compositions that call to mind a Do-It-Yourself culture. Within the purview of modularity and efficiency, traditional craft techniques and complex joinery is employed to juxtapose the cheap and efficient materials.
