My work is inspired by architecture, infrastructure, and the living things that inhabit them. I typically work at a smaller scale, with inexpensive materials like wire, paper, spackle, and plastic. Decisions about shape and form become as much about dodging easy associations as embracing unexpected ones—the avoidance of simply recreating an architectural model, or a mid-century modernist sculpture. I’d like the experience of seeing my work to feel a bit like traveling to the edge of town, where infrastructure tapers into nature, and boundaries between buildings, plants, animals, and trash start to dissolve.
