I am interested in capitalism’s effect on the soul. How does relentless consumerism sway us? How can we know who we really are given the competition for our mind-space and pocketbook? Homing in on unwanted, used consumer items, my work varies in material, size, and format. I use images of residential interiors as a sculptural material.”
