Artist Statement: I stage situations in which stories take place. These narratives are influenced by nostalgic references to life living in tropical and wild areas of the Southern United States. The sculptures become theatrical props, set up playfully to engage the viewer and invite them into the story. My practice uses small individual characters that are physically tied together, sewn, or collaged to create large layers of bundles. The bundles represent the fullness or mischief that is possible when single living beings settle into larger groups. The structures are created from a mixture of found materials obtained from roadsides, construction zones, and sentimental locations. These objects are combined with handmade elements like wood cuts, screen prints, ceramics, plants, paper, fabric, house paints and ropes. When exhibited, the sculptures are never shown the same twice. They are forever morphing into new piles and arrangements; creating environments for new tales and moments to be born. |
