Life left to give, creating new
possibilities from materials others abandoned.
The mission of my work is twofold. Life affirmation is at the center of all I
endeavor to do creatively. My commitment
to this philosophy is anchored in the usage of primarily found materials. Time and again we hear the phrase consumer or throw away society. Having always
found such a definition unsettling - I have chosen to move in an opposite direction
in my work, as well as my lifestyle. Over
the now many years that I have chosen to integrate this approach to all
I create I have come to regard it as a source of great satisfaction. Picking up
a this ,or a that lying about the landscape in a state of disrepair and
breathing new life in to it is for this soul as good as it need get.
After many years of this process the materials and I have arrived at a common
point of salvation for one another. If I were to use one phrase to lend
definition to my work it would be "High Folk Art".
Life Left to Give
Creating new possibilities from materials
others have abandoned.
