Work I have completed professionally in the past 3 years.

Using a formalist aesthetic, I rely on construction materials, reclaimed commercial scrap and parts made from disassembled, low quality products from consumer marketed "category killer" mega-stores as a supplement to traditional sculptural and industrial methods.

I am most interested in the transformation of craft, the way products are manufactured, shipped, and assembled instead of being built. Workmanship and trades are replaced by automation and labor; product identity is replaced with buzzwords such as pre-fab, flat-pack and low-impact. As disposability supplants quality, the relationships of the manufacturer, the distributor, and the consumer are disconnected from one another and the products with which they are associated.

The work is generally abstract, influenced by the natural and synthetic properties of the materials. The form invokes a playful purpose, an intentional nonsense and a methodical balance between tedium, activity and entertainment.

Using common materials, and a solid construction the work can engage the audience with physical, often tactile interaction, deconstructing the precious stigma associated with the gallery space and bridging the gap between producer and consumer.
