My work often begins with a misinterpretation of sights and sounds. The majority of my work is built on a foundation of string and plaster. I start with a sketch and then build the illustration into a three dimensional representation.
I like to refer to the installations that I build and photograph as “sculptural still life” because a lot of my inspiration is derived from the language of sculpture and classic still life paintings.
