"It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."
-Elliott Erwitt
My work centers on the use of found objects. When I integrate semi-precious materials, I introduce these unique discoveries into a transitive context. As a result, my process is a derivative of my environment. Through experimentation, I endeavor to locate myself in my surroundings, as an artist--as a person.
To put it simply, my work is shaped by materials that I am attracted to, and often times I find myself captivated by an object because of my encounter with it. In this way, my experiences are carried forward with me, by the act of making.
