STATEMENT:
Combining vintage photographs, maps, ephemera, found objects, detritus, money, toys, razor blades and all manner of other evocative items gives three-dimensional form to my many opinions and emotions. Recent subjects include sexism, xenophobia, income inequality, the hollowing-out of American life, environmental injustice, displacement, nostalgia.
