the overlapping of industrial architecture and nature blurs the point of view and inspires this work. by proceeding with concern for the environment and out of respect for our communities, these pieces reflect on the evolution of art with a consciousness of the future. i strive to create a visible cultural presence based on a reiteration and reflection on our existing surroundings. monochromatic monoliths redefine our relationship to our environment and bring about a conversation of nature and sustainability.
texture, fragility and the fleeting all incorporate to form a monumental image by transforming relics into icons. the images are constructed by aggressively bringing the subtle to the forefront. in this way the absurd post-industrial objects i create respond to their disposers.
