My work addresses the dynamic interplay between domestic objects, experience and meaning. In my sculpture I manipulate everyday objects to suggest that they, like we, are in a process of redefinition. These objects have strong domestic associations suggesting familial relationships and situations. New structures emerge at the cost of older ones. Some things are nurtured or echoed in delicate structures, while others are plundered for material or left to wither.

I choose objects that show use or wear, not for nostalgia’s sake, but to underscore their functionality. By manipulating them, I subvert the object’s original function, and collide the utilitarian and art object. The manipulations suggest instability in each and tensions between both, as well as scaffolded meanings and associations. The boundaries of an object’s definition interest me most. I push my objects until they are on the verge of a multitude of other possibilities.
