Statement
My paintings explores color theory, perception, and the ways in which information is represented in our physical and digital worlds. My sculpture works are discrete groupings of found and collected objects; this work is concerned with consumption and the emotional value we place on inanimate objects. When I was a kid I loved collecting discarded items like small toys, cheap jewelry, and anything brightly colored, and something about that has stuck with me ever since.
