As a child I had plentiful opportunity to explore the bucolic rural Minnesota
landscape which was dotted with dilapidated barns and “junk piles”. These piles
were composed of cast off parts from automobiles and agricultural equipment,
among other things. I remember as a child speculating what different parts might
have been used for and imagining the people who had used them. There was a
curious history to these objects that truly fed my imagination.
In my current work I am using cast off materials (ie. Styrofoam) as press molds to
make abstract objects that are imbued with a sense of age. Modern day artifacts
that reflect how our current culture functions. Additionally, I quite enjoy how different
people bring their own interpretations to what the objects look like.
