> STATEMENT

This is a series of sculptures in which I sought to utilize materials in a manner that would deviate from their expected purpose, in order to reclaim them from their destined disposal. I took common items from our daily lives and wove and stitched them into a new and surprising fabric, holding in tension the concepts of disposability and longevity, leaving in question which will win out in the end.
