I seek to create large from small. Typically, my small objects have been taken from their original context. Typically, my small objects are touchable or were once touched. Typically, my small objects are close to 3/4” in size. I am less interested in abstraction, although occasionally my works are not clearly recognized, especially in their new context. There is a literal quality to all of my projects. I am never too serious, and often employ humor. I am trained and work as an architect, with a keen interest in preserving architectural, social, and cultural history. Years of early childhood Montessori school have made me self-reliant. I am inspired by Chuck Close, Joseph Cornell, Kurt Schwitters, Meret Oppenheim, and Groucho Marx.
