In my work, I engage in each production to provide my viewers with a blurred line between reality and my sculptural representation through whatever media necessary. My work is composed of products of society; collected in collaboration with the community in order to give my materials significance through origin. The mass media relies on public participation and vice versa, therefore, I rely on public participation for my work to be derived and participated in. I am using the repetitiveness of craft processes to simulate the repetitiveness of consumer habit and also contradict the impersonal, heteronymous quality of contemporary U.S. consumerism. In my work, I emphasize the absurdity of contemporary consumption and poke fun at my cultural existence physically and mentally in hopes of luring others to also participate in a self-referential critique.
