I’ve always been interested in objects – the well-used, worn and imperfect. I use my artwork as a way to explore the relationships between object and user. I see this as a way to bring importance and recognition to objects that have played an important role in our lives but are undervalued and would otherwise be forgotten, overlooked, or discarded. Most recently I’ve begun to focus on objects in peoples collections. Collecting is a basic human instinct and I am fascinated as why people choose to collect specific objects.
