artist statement

These are landscapes assembled in the studio from collected objects found in daily commutes and nature walks, around the U.S. and abroad.​Originally, these botanicals were accumulated unconsciously, but later intentionally.  These are constructed tableaux landscapes, reintroduced and recomposed, a New Re Order. Identity, function, and relativity are observed through the displacement and replacement of plant life. Although this plant life lives as compositions, narratives emerge from the stage settings. The flora and fauna assume personal qualities and begin a dialog and life of their own. A sense of wonder and loneliness cultivates. Inanimate objects acquire a voice and presence in these dreamscapes, as remnants of a disappearing Eden.
