I see my work as a language composed of the objects which make up our personal environment, takenout of our daily experiences. By propelling the objects of everyday life into unfamiliar contexts, we are forced to create new meanings, new ways of seeing, because we are no longer numbed by familiar expectations of how things are supposed to work.  There is a sheen of harmony about the objects of everyday life, in the things we use or pass by over and over. Things become so familiar to us that we no longer know that we continue to see them. Yet once we begin to question our relation to the things that populate our lives, we may find that harmony is simply a lack of questioning. I hope to activate consciousness by making the familiar unfamiliar. It is in this space between the external harmony of the world, and the internal disjunction of our personal lives that my work lies.
