I am inspired by the challenge of repairing and recreating a new and unexpected surface and using the staples, an understandable method, as a connective device.

I rely on using my acute use of color to add balance to a piece subtly contrasting the different order that has been created by the cut and often randomly rearranged and reconnected parts.
