Captured Series
The captured series is completely made from recyclable materials transformed into abstract sculptures that resemble patterns found in nature. My new work has been a great deal of focus on human beings connection to living and nonliving things in our universe. The use of technologies has had its benefits to the modern world and also its disadvantages to way we communicate and interact with living beings. I choose to use materials from out dated technologies such as vinyl records, VHS tapes and film, which would take hundreds of years for the plastic to decompose. Time and memory are mutable and uncertain and we can only count on the Inherent ability of all living things to adapt and transform to Survive.

My aesthetic is drawn to a grotesque but beautiful sensibility as I find brilliance and energy in objects that invoke story or memory. I engage the viewer to witness
and contemplate another perspective in the way we view our selves and our connections to each other.
