Artist statement

My work focuses on everyday and familiar objects, often portraying them, or involving them in a scenario that is in some way out of the ordinary. I use variations in scale to show things in a different way and to have them interact within scenes and with other objects that are disparate in size. I enjoy using found objects and everyday items I may have laying around the studio or at home and creating new relationships between them. I enjoy playing with visual perceptions and first impressions, and also making something new and interesting out of old or unused objects and giving things a purpose above that which they were intended for.
