Artist Statement

Discarded materials illustrate the amount of waste we create on a daily basis, and reveal how we choose to spend our money.

Ancestral and religious themes dominate my work criticizing society's worship of capitalism.

I redefine trash, pushing the boundaries of sculpture, and explore the definition of what is sacred.
