Artist Statement:
"My work is concerned with investigating ways of putting elements together to create different experiences and meanings-using discarded objects whenever possible with a history of human use. In response to working outdoors, my concern has been to literally excavate earth in order to alter the audience's perception of space and landscape and to create a place to inhabit."
