Thematically my work is a reaction to throw away culture and overt American commercialism. I utilize found and recycled textiles (often originating from furniture), sewing them together with bright thread, to reformulate compositions into new collaged amalgamations. My work is a study of the superficiality of society and relationships. Utilizing techniques from the world of textiles, my work offers subtle challenges to masculinity. It is an exorcism and an intuitive unearthing of narratives relating to personal history that bring about vulnerability and innocence both in terms of the personal-familial as well as cultural manifestations
