Artist Statement

Junkyards, trash scatters, and piles of detritus are all irresistible to me. I have spent years combing the woods of North Florida, where people still drag their old appliances out to be used as target practice and then left to disintegrate. The decay process changes the shape, color, and texture of each item, yet through years of exposure to cold, rain, heat and fire they still maintain some aspect of the original object.

These longs walks have given me a large collection of found objects, which I have been combining with prints in a series of assemblages, dioramas and installations. As a print maker, I am experimenting with ways in which prints can move beyond the bounds of the traditional two dimensional edition and into three dimensions. Throughout this research, I have been discovering connections between print processes, found objects, and the three dimensional structure.
