Artist Statement:

"This work addresses the growing crisis of plastic trash pollution. My materials are cast off, surplus, waste: recycled wire, one-time-use plastic bags and bits. My color palette is the color story of plastic packaging, deceptively bright, cheery, even whimsical. These materials belong solely to the modern age. Physically, they are by-products of industrialization. Conceptually, the ideas of disposability, one-time-use, surplus, and waste are modern inventions. Yet, what we have thrown away stays around, and will haunt us for who know how long."
