Artist’s statement:
Solve practical problems with physical objects, and hold the remnants of this life
tighter and tighter until carbon turns to diamond.Alchemy, sift and assemble
the beauty and detritus, with scraps and thread patterns and paint. Bits of personal
history,chewed and spat; ditch the real for the illusion.
