Abstract
The following details my work with found objects of the everyday, resulting mostly in the form of sculptural installation and also in two-dimensional imagery. A reutilization of unwanted materials gives new potential to seemingly worthless items. In an effort to positively contribute to our social and economic culture, I rebuild and compile these once-consumer goods into dioramic landscapes and architectural settings, as artworks. Through this reinterpretation and recycling of waste, a reflection on our behaviors and experiences is prompted from our own dealings and associations to items like tube televisions, broken records, concrete blocks, or wooden two-by-fours. Our role as creator and consumer is revealed by evidence of physical remnants. Through the provocation of memories in the past, we are confronted in the current time with questions concerning resource and environment. | 33 pages
