Artist Statement:
“My practice as an artist is defined by craft processes. The familiarity of the object tells the history of the craft, with an uncanny approach, intermixed functionality, pathos, and humor. Aiming to suggest an operable caricature of itself. I think of material as memory and process as the passage of time. By relying on woodworking processes to create these objects, carving and shaping of material connects my actions and memories to the traditions of my predecessors.”
