The idea of piecing-together disparate elements (pipe cleaners, plastic bags & pins) strongly informs my work. The installations take various forms: parasitic-like growths that cover interior architectural elements & outdoors structures; hanging tents that immerse the viewer; suspended walls that curve & divide spaces; excessive, organic masses that transform room into caves. Monumental in scale & intensely colored & textured, the work aims to physically affect the viewer.
