Description: This work is from a series of pieces which tell the story of an unknown American, using remnants left behind. With the objects giving clues as to how this man lived, I recreated a throne or a portrait of him using negatives, 1960\'s Bell helmets, his collection of Jack Daniels bottles, motorcycle parts and the tickets he used for racing at the Poconos. The attempt in this series is to celebrate the lives of everyday people, who might otherwise have never been given thought.

Im drawn to the re-contextualization of objects, humanizing them and asking the viewers to not depend on their collective memories in order to have novel, rather than prefabricated experiences. The choices I make regarding materials become a significant part of the process. Using man-made objects or fabricating objects which are easily recognized, I create a narrative around the individual and their struggles with change, society, progression, and regression. Through each piece, the individual is forced to negotiate the conflicting impulses of the human psyche and culturally imposed expectations. The intent is to confront viewers with questions about themselves, society, what we take for granted and how we can change our perception and general acceptance of life. My artistic drive is fueled by my desire to challenge my audience to look beyond the surface: to project oneself onto a piece and acknowledge ones existence as a profound opportunity, while creating a moment where one questions his or her individuality among the collective.
