| I use a wide range of
materials: steel, tarpaper, foam and rubber; non-art, inorganic
materials that are meant to retain their industrial identity.
I consider myself to be part of a small group of artists
who reach conceptual and intellectual goals through a focus
on craft. Every element I use to make an object, its scale
construction method and choice of material is essential to
the way the viewer relates to it. I deliberately use materials
that are the conceptual opposite of the image they are part
of. My objects feminize these materials; make them industrial,
construction-related materials sensual. |
